What I want them to create for easy pivoting or database entry , which they hate and can’t imagine , why will my boss what my to create something so ugly , so unintuitive , why entry for on each line ?
EDT with its simple interface of gather, spread ,cross finally allows me to live worry free, they can continue create their pretty pixel perfect excel and I can get my database enabled report!
True love facilitated by EDT.
