Comments on Can we migrate office suite related questions to the Power Users community?
Post
I went ahead and made a proposal on Power User that a separate category for office suites should be made. I suggest that we wait and see where that proposal lands.
If a category for these questions is made, we can go ahead and migrate. (Such a category would also soften the "bump blow" that comes from migrating some I dunno, some 50 questions(?), from here to there.)
In the meantime we can discuss overlapping scopes. I think most agree that excel formulas etc are more suited for Power User. But in the above proposal I also identified two more overlaps with this site: VBA and MS Access. These sit in some grey area between Software Development and Power Users. We know from SO that what to do with VBA (and excel) questions were a constant source of conflict. Better to discuss sooner rather than later what to do with such questions.
EDIT as per 2021-06-08:
My proposal wasn't well-received and it's unlikely that a category will get created. So I'd say just go ahead and migrate. If someone whines about bumping/bombardment of office suite questions, well they have been warned that could have been avoided.
