That Excel file everyone shares? It has 47 tabs, macros from 2018, and breaks when two people edit simultaneously. Time to modernize.
Signs You've Outgrown Excel
Multiple people need to edit simultaneously. You're emailing spreadsheets back and forth. File size exceeds 50MB. Macros are critical but nobody understands them. Data integrity issues (someone deleted a formula).
Migration Path
1. Google Sheets — easy migration, real-time collaboration. 2. Airtable — spreadsheet-database hybrid. 3. Custom web app — full control, but highest effort. Start by exporting to CSV for a clean data foundation.
