    I want to teach my daughter the importance of budgeting, not spreadsheet formula.
    So you want something with unicorns and an excel back end

            It's worth doing. As soon as they were competent with excel I got them on the company PAYE and paid them 10k each for book keeping.
            Did you invoice them for training? Or does your company have budget for training prospective employees?

              +1 excel, it'll take you 5 minutes to code, 10 minutes to make it look pretty

                    I am more concerned about the SOR.
