Mind elaborating? I'm interested in anything keeping me away from excel

You can also use BULK INSERT for csvs or just INSERT INTO and some text editing depending on the specifics.

This is more for one-off stuff like analyzing some 10,000 row spreadsheet you've been handed that you could probably do with formulas in excel, but it's easier to use sql, but not worth building a proper process for.
