We're on different pages. We receive these from customers exporting their own data. The Excel file then contains multiple sheets, some filled out to the very end with data,...

By itself, that's not too bad. However, when you have an Excel file with 15 sheets and need to import all of them, preferably into pre-existing/typed columns, it becomes...

I've seen a bunch of different ways to handle this. Some people are let go immediately and paid. Others (myself included) were asked to stay on and then some. It...
