A workbook doing several jobs
- Free-form cells collect operational data
- Status is represented differently across sheets
- Copies drift apart
- Reports depend on pivots and manual checks
Excel to web application
Keep the useful logic and familiar outputs, while replacing uncontrolled editing, duplicate copies and manual reporting with one structured system.
What changes
The replacement does not need to imitate every worksheet. It should preserve the information and rules that matter, then give each user a clearer way to do their part.
A safe route
Identify users, handoffs, business rules, reports, duplicated data and fragile points.
Confirm the smallest useful version before committing to the full build.
Where useful, run both systems together until the team is confident.
