Somewhat tangential (more Excel related) but had to put these videos by Krazam somewhere at some point on HN. Enjoy! MAKRO | Microsoft Excel Stream Highlights 3/19 [LINK] MAKRO | XLOOKUP: META BREAKER? | Microsoft Excel Stream Highlights 10/19 [VIDEO]

That makes me think of these two great parody videos from ~5 years back, of Excel using e-sport tropes, introduced but a (fictional) livestreaming competitor nicknamed Makro. "Microsoft Excel stream highlights" [LINK] "XLOOKUP" [VIDEO]

You just have to go to Ballmercon. Or are maybe they mean everyone is abandoning excel after they failed to patch out the cheeses and tried to attract the party gamers by breaking the meta with xlookup? [VIDEO]
