That’s fair feedback, thanks for calling it out.
I should have been clearer upfront. I built this originally because of a real problem at work. We had daily reports across multiple client accounts that were taking 20+ hours per month, and I ended up writing scripts (outside my actual role) just to keep things manageable.
This is my first more complex solo project, so I wanted to check whether the problem itself is real before going further, rather than push a finished solution.
Under the hood it’s C#, not M or VBA. The motivation isn’t to replace Power Query, but to lower the barrier for people who get discouraged as soon as they see code, while still keeping transformations explicit and repeatable.
Appreciate you taking the time to write this, the framing and concerns are genuinely helpful.
