I wrote an Excel macro in VBA that opens a file select window, imports the selected files as new worksheets, copies the data from each worksheet recursively into a master table, prompts the user to delete the imported tables, then prompts the user to save the workbook as a new file.
Excel does have functions that achieve basically the same thing, but it was being too finicky with how it wanted the source tables formatted.
I barely know VBA and idek wtf a Boolean variable is, but I fucking did it and it's going to make mine and my team's life so much easier at work. That was my whole Friday lmao
I frequently have to dump a bunch of data from our accounting system, and the process afterward involves a ton of manual cutting and pasting. When I have to do it 70 times, it's physically and mentally exhausting. I'm not the only one who has complained about this process, and nobody has done anything to make it better. So I'm fixing that shit. I'm not a programmer. I'm an accountant. But I'm also so lazy that I'll to learn how to program a little to save myself a lot of work over the long run.
Programming is a tool, you don’t have to be a knife enthusiast to want get the correct knife
