Quickbase, Excel And API
Excel is a very easily accessible tool available in every corporate provided PC. And Quickbase is a cloud based process managing and data storage tool. And what if we could connect these too. The cost incurred on license for Quickbase is quite a bit. What if we could just localize most of the actions done on Quickbase. What are those actions do you ask? Reports, add data and modify data.
