Wow, thanks everyone! This makes so much more sense now. The smoothie and herding cats analogies especially helped lol.

I tried Google Sheets like a few of you suggested, and it’s way easier than I thought! Aggregated my monthly expenses just to test it out.

Quick follow-up: Is there a downside to data aggregation? Like, do you ever lose important details when you summarize everything?

(Also, bookmarking Tableau and Power BI for later—y’all are lifesavers!)
