I have never seen a 150 mb functional spreadsheet before.

That size is not uncommon in environments where Excel is the only office
tool that the employees know how to use.

I'd like to see the file because I'm relatively sure that a database
is what is needed (especially if there are a ton of functions in it and
nested ifs)

People have been abusing spreadsheets as databases since at least 1992
when the first database program that masqueraded as a spreadsheet was
commercially released.

On second thoughts, there was a spreadsheet program for the Apple ][,
that was a nothing more than a specialized database program. AFAIK, it
was only released as source code (Apple Pascal).
