Let’s say I have an experience working with Excel and I’m using that experience to populate a spreadsheet with data. What are the different ways to store and manage that data once the spreadsheet is filled in?
Ideally, I’d like a solution that works across different platforms and devices, such as Windows playe 8, iPad app, and web-based experience. Would something like Airtable make sense, or are there other alternatives I can consider?
I’d also like to be able to access and retrieve this data from another device once captured.
For context, we’re talking about a spreadsheet with roughly 20-30 columns. not like 2-3 values.
There isn’t a specific use case yet. I’m just have an idea and trying to understand different options.
If you need multiple devices to be able to both “read and write” from / into that “Excel spreadsheet”, and consolidate the data into 1 central location, you don’t want an Excel spreadsheet, you want a central database.
Airtable is indeed the closest to that, relatively easy to integrate with their well-documented API and our API Explorer.
If you’d like to discuss it over a phone call, I’m relatively available tomorrow after 3pm CET (Friday 26th), send me a Teams link
