How long is a piece of string?

Specifically, how much data, what format is is in, it it intended to be written live or uploaded in bulk, how you are doing the uploads currently or what approaches you are considering... pretty much all of the relevant and important details that were not included here.

If you want to keep the sheet as a data entry portal then and DBS statements to it. You can even go wild, add buttons, submission checks, all kinds of good stuff. Not really fast in terms of up front work, but quick once done and reusable,
