You wanna know why this dashboard takes a full minute to load? It's because it joins every table in the fucking database because some people can't be bothered to look at a separate page for certain information.

See this is where Excel ... well, excels!

Pivot tables do these data pulls pretty easy

Nah this is one of those slick work deals, legit all you need to do is list all your entries, order a pivot table, and then you can just arrange your variables to display however you want them to, do a little format pizaz, and voila, here's that "report" you asked for!

Me right now, discovering that our archives data have file sizes... sometimes in bytes, sometimes in kilobytes. I found some pattern this morning thinking I could know which was which, then the pattern collapsed at some date in the past.
Joy.
