It’s a well-known problem in the upper management that they only understand Excel.
I’ve seen inventories, statistical calculations, databases, project plans, calendars, address books, password management and even presentation slides done in Excel.
The Williams Formula 1 team managed everything in Exce until this year. The new team principal was stunned at how outdated their systems were and moved everything to more modern systems. The transition caused some major problems with inventory near the beginning of the season though. They didn’t have enough replacement parts for a single crash. Hopefully they can make better progress now with the newer systems.
