Open Thread: How are you using Excel?
Merlin Mann | Aug 22 2006
Yesterday, I mentioned I'd been talking with someone who's looking at interesting things people are doing with Microsoft Excel. I talked to her again yesterday, and with her official okey-dokey, I'll virtually introduce Tralee Pearce (*waves*), a reporter from Toronto's Globe & Mail whom you might remember from a very swell article about the Hipster PDA. So, by request -- and to help Tralee with fleshing out her fun-sounding article -- I hope you all will jump in here: What kind of cool, novel, and non-obvious stuff are you doing with Excel? What's the wildest, most obsessive, most nerdy thing you ever saw someone do with our favorite spreadsheet program? 119 Comments

Geeky eh? ^_^ I use Excel in generating repetitive source code like initializing arrays, maps, generating SQL statements. I love Excel formulae! My Item Table for DotA Allstars (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/30284996/) is based on Excel (with post-production enhancements in Photoshop). » POSTED IN:
