Excel should not be used as a live “database” at this scale.
Replying to @standupmaths
This is not how to run a database. “commercial firms paid to carry out swab tests for the virus … filed their results in the form of text-based lists, without issue. PHE had set up an automatic process to pull this data together into Excel templates” bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54422505

It shouldn’t be used as a live database in any circumstances. A backup delta file - yes. Storage for recording millions of records - no.

Nothing says we don't want your custom then a SaaS without a pricing page and request for quote. Your competitors have pricing you don't, I'm going to make assumptions about yours. Even if I don't purchase on price alone if I need to jump through hoops I'm just going elsewhere
