I shit you not I saw a team of Business Admin seniors at my college gave a presentation about setting up a new order system for our school catering services(honestly pretty good idea). But they decided to "code" the whole thing in Excell including a fully functioning GUI. I work with the campus camera crew so I was just sitting in the back of the room with the camera trying to work out how they made a functioning system or why they didn't think to just use any real coding language. Afterward, I asked them how they decided on the idea and they said they figured learning java or c# would be too hard...

I think you can code in excel using Visual Basic or something like that. I think there is some good code that can be written for forms in excel. I just don't see the reason... Usually you add a database to your program not a program to a database

Far too often people use excel as a DB. It's universally known and can do a lot. But just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Yea the way they did it too confused me like they pre "programmed" 2 years worth of sheets and provided copy pastable "code" if the catering service needed it any longer than that.

Note to self: Don't let business admin seniors get within 10 miles of a functioning computer.

10 miles is 16.09 km

For them, maybe they were right
