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 [VIDEO] MAKRO | XLOOKUP: META BREAKER? | Microsoft Excel Stream Highlights 10/19 [LINK]

But the spreadsheet abstraction really works like a charm, it gives the flexibility and the power to do a lot. On a humorous side note ... competitive excel [VIDEO]

> Excel’s boundless rectangles yield themselves to my whim as I sort columns and freeze rows like a rational demigod. I wonder if the author is a "top sheethead," (part of the pro excel scene)? The article doesn't offer an opinion on the controversial Chinese localization fix of 2019[1] for example. [1] [VIDEO]

A while ago I watched a couple of videos by Krazam [0][1] on competitive Excel. Thought it was just a sketch, didn't realize it was actually a thing. [0] [LINK] [1] [VIDEO]

The way I keep my Excel skills up to scratch is by staying updated with the Pro Excel scene. One method I employ is watching Krazam as he goes through the release notes. You can find his videos at: [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" [VIDEO] "XLOOKUP" [LINK]
