Steve is just OCD and has spreadsheets for everything, would surprise me if he has a master spreadsheet listing links to all others including suitable descriptions of course

Essential.

I had a job in a New Business dept for a Global IT Services Company and for some of the bids we would use literally hundreds of Excel Workbooks ,each with around 20 worksheets in. And all those Workbooks, which were cost models, had to be collated together - and then after changes, collated again. This process could sometimes take a week for the Bid Manager to do. I created a master workbook that would find all the workbooks and collate all the totals into a rollup workbook and also create charts and tables ready to be copy and pasted into a Powerpoint file, all automated with Excel Macros and worked very well. Used to click the start button and then leave the PC to carry on doing the collation for a few hours (still took time, but a few hours of unattended time beat a few days of a human doing this!) and up pops the answers.
Enjoyable stuff to do actually, but whatever floats your boat. I am sure this would be some folks idea of a living hell

Not quite, Neil, but for a future development ... . I do use the data that I collect to decide whether to update or replace vehicles, to monitor the servicing schedules etc. But I also play around with the spreadsheets as a hobby, and to keep my brain working

I replied to the 'Overnight Stop near Dieppe' Thread because I knew that I had a record of the April 2022 Trip, so had the date, cost, site location and Search for Sites Reference readily available

I have a fur-lined anorak, replete with hood, but I have yet to produce a spreadsheet to record/forecast the volume of dandruff that the hood can accommodate, and when it is likely to need emptying ...

You forgot the 'Wired to the Moon' epithet, Kev ... And sanity is overrated . Remember, a person who has been sectioned under the Mental Health Act and then discharged can prove that he is sane. A sane person cannot do so ...
