You are trying to use Excel like a database and that’s not its job. Use Access for that, if you must stick within the Office ecosystem

If I'm the only one doing it then I'd prefer to stick with sqlite. But the reality is that everyone I work with does these kinds of things in excel, and it's a shitshow. Yes, u could say 'don't blame the tool', but it's ms shoving it down our throats and they could've done much better with the time they had.
