I feel you. Working in healthcare, ms office is the only thing consistently installed site wide I can take advantage of to run a db.

Couldn’t you use Access instead of Excel or is that not possible for your use case?

Unfortunately IT blocked Access installs because some staff were using it for mission critical processes, and upon leaving IT were required to maintain them. They felt excel was less likely to lead to scenarios like this.

Little did they know excel projects are probably worse to maintain.
