This just means your boss needs a spreadsheet model guy. "Bosses" would rather die than enter a formula in spreadsheet.

This may have been true in 1985, but it is definitely not true today. "Bosses" love making massively complex spreadsheets.

Many of them love consuming and faffing about with complex spreadsheets but I just watched my CTO cut & paste cells with menu items and the mouse, in a round-about A->C, B->A, C->B way. And the font is comic sans, and everything is sorted by color. Any of the more sophisticated tools or a macro is way beyond this one.
