Out of the Spreadsheets

IntermediateModule 044 reps, about 15 min total

Get me out of spreadsheets is one of the most common things owners say out loud. The sheet started as a quick fix, and now it runs your scheduling or your pipeline or your inventory, and it breaks every time someone else touches it. I show you how to tell when a sheet has outgrown itself, when no-code is genuinely enough, when it is not, and how to graduate to a real system without a rewrite and without throwing away the work already in there.

What you will be able to do

  • The signs a spreadsheet has become a system it was never meant to be
  • When no-code is enough, and the exact point where it stops being enough
  • Moving your data into something real without a rewrite or a big bang
  • Keeping the sheet as a view while a real system does the work underneath
