    Awesome, if you have any questions, shoot. Started down that rabbit hole 20 years and never really came up for air :)

    Actually it just leads to many more data type manipulation, SQL, VBA connecting to the other Microsoft app, etc. never regretted it aside from the 3am sessions trying to figure out one more thing, which leads to one more thing… But then that is the rabbit hole piece.

    Btwa boolean is just data stored in a single bit, either a 1 or a 0 on the backend, but usually presented as something more obvious to the user like yes/no, true/false, on/off etc

      I’d love to learn SQL. I’m going back to school later this year because I have a bachelor’s degree with 127 credit hours. I’m 23 hours shy of being eligible to hold a CPA license in my state. So I found a local community college that offers a computer science program with a focus on database management, and there’s a whole class on SQL that I’m kinda looking forward to. And because I already have a degree, all of my gen eds are out of the way. Taking the core classes for the two year degree at this community college sits right at the intersection of 151 hours. All I have to do after that is pass the CPA Exam lol It’s that easy.

        Ha, cpa exam being easy aside, the biggest hurdle with sql is finding data handling interesting which you seem to be in the right position for. Good luck on your journey and feel free to ping for any questions or just to chat
