From a fragile spreadsheet to a database that scales
Moving a fast-growing operation off a 96k-row Excel file onto a real database.
The problem
A fast-growing operation ran on a single Excel file that had reached 96,454 rows and was adding roughly 3,000 more every day. Recalculation had slowed to a crawl, the file was becoming unstable, and it had clearly outgrown what a spreadsheet can safely handle.
What we built
We re-engineered the formula and processing logic for speed, then moved the data into a proper database structure — so it keeps growing without the slowdowns, the instability, or the risk of everything living in one fragile file.
The result
Reports that used to take around 45 seconds to recalculate now return in roughly 2 seconds, and the business has a foundation that scales with its daily growth instead of fighting it.
