# use spreadsheets software — Database Administrator

For a Database Administrator (DBA), 'use spreadsheet software' isn’t about complex financial modeling; it's about *data wrangling* for quick analysis, reporting, and troubleshooting. Daily tasks often involve exporting subsets of data from databases (using SQL queries) into CSV or similar formats, then using Excel/Google Sheets to identify patterns, outliers, or inconsistencies that might indicate performance issues, data corruption, or security breaches. Think quickly checking row counts after a large import, verifying data transformations during ETL processes, or summarizing error logs. It's also used for documenting database configurations and server details – essentially creating 'lookup tables' outside the database itself.
