But back to the question, why are you dumping SAP into Excel?
Not that I'm saying it's not valid, just wondering why.

Nope because I had a filter in place for the BOM. Not interested in employee data. But really too easy to do in any case, so it is a valid point.

this is the crime of companies/people using SAP incorrectly

dumping to excel is the scourge of the analytics business

Cause I only run sap on the client's machine when on-site. Today is not that day so I dumped the database to a text file etc etc.
