Excel is one of the best, and most misused tools in the world. I know one, maybe two people besides myself that do anything beyond using it as grid paper or to render graphs, and that's a shame. The MS office classes around here, from what I know, don't even mention functions beyond adding numbers. Hell, Excel was basically the first thing I ever programmed in. Just playing with it to see what I could make it do. Nowadays I see people spending an hour making a python script to parse a file, when I can just drop it in excel use a couple functions and maybe a macro, and have it parsed in 10 minutes. It's a real shame. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of things in companies could get a lot better if everyone learned excel overnight. Some people's job basically amounts to doing something a spreadsheet and a little macroing can do.
