Its extremely flexible and suits most anything you could want to do - except with Excel.

I am beginning to wonder whether or not this limitation within Excel is deliberate. It seems odd that this one specific functional requirement is the one that you cant perform no matter how you approach it. In the meantime I'll just use the API to suck the data into a BE dtabase and stick an Access FE on top of it. I can pull in whatever Excel functions I might need for processing or analysis and get the best of both worlds without the headaches. Good thing I am highly proficient with databases and MS Access as an FE.
