Not to do with Birmingham. and one would have thought obvious to anyone, even me, with a small knowledge of computers. I do use Excel and am not good with it, but I am not an expert. This is apparently true and been reported on several sites as to the recent "excess" numbers of covid cases

UK loses 16,000 COVID-19 cases due to Excel spreadsheet snafu

Some 16,000 Coronavirus cases in the UK went missing after the Excel spreadsheet they were being recorded in reached its maximum limit, and did not allow the automated process to add any more names.

The conclusion is, if you use computers read the manual!! Particularly if you are charging several million pounds to the public purse

I would have thought that someone would have noticed that the 'system' was not asking for anyone to be traced during the week when the problem occurred. Surely the CEO or person in charge would want to see a daily list of how many people the whole 'system' was tracing .... :rolleyes:
 
I think it is the system that replaced the "world beating system" when the "world beating system" did not work well
