Hey baby. I won an award for being a freak in the sheets.
Excelling across a wide range of fields
I excel in spreading in the sheets.
TIL that there’s an Excel World Championship and a World Snowshoeing Championship.
Excel was developed as a quasi accounting tool for keeping track of basic numerical data. Presumably it gained popularity with small businesses and within corporations. The way it’s used currently goes way beyond the original scope. I’ve personally met many people using it for PhD research and engineering, which is a testament to the versatility of the design but also, wtf.
