If you have deadline pressure in any MS Office application, it pays to think about "file a saw" and go to "fell timber" on an industrial scale! :)
I had some period of time in my life, when it happened bulk scope of work in Excel.
It was necessary compare between themselves thousands cells, to move data back and forth, to check, to analyze. But my temper against of any routine job, I become fast fatigable. Concentration on tasks is decrease, together with motivation. Then I began tried this out to write macros on VBA for single actions.
Productivity considerably increased!
Together with productivity appear motivation to write more complicated software.
As result, by rapidity and precision, I could easily overtake department of colleagues doing same tasks manually.
Of course, so as to write program necessary enough time.
Often this is continuous process, which very close to creativity.
From outside it seems that you as slow as a tortoise.
But everything more than outweighed by that result, which we gain a reward.
