A collection of observed stupid ways of doing spreadsheets, when there are perfectly simple and less-risky easy ways of achieving the same result with Excel already!
Stupid ways add risk, have a marathon of unnecessary steps, cannot cope with modifications needed in the future, are not scalable, and cannot reach across the organization. Stupid ways make enterprise processes fragmented, and fragile.
Top management wants business data processes to be frictionless.
Knowing how to recognize stupid ways is a big step towards avoiding stupid ways ourselves, and a step towards re-engineering Excel spreadsheets to add value across the business.
Welcome to Excel.WTF!
