Glitch, my arse - who in (insert appropriate diety’s here) name uses a million+ line spreadsheet, besides complete amateurs? I spent most of the last 20 years getting home-grown systems off spreadsheets and migrated to ‘proper’ IT systems, because the spreadsheets tend to have no documentation, ownership, or resilience.

This is NOT an IT glitch. It’s using a spreadsheet to do the job of a database. It’s not fit for purpose. It’s trying to hammer a nail in with a roll of sandpaper; the tool doesn’t suit the job.
It's more World-leading cut and paste than World-Leading Track and Trace.
