Brings back all the Blockspring [0] vibes...
You could create any cloud functions invoking external APIs and run them in Excel, so you could literally do anyhing..
My favorite use-case was pulling data from internal PRIVATE APIs to do statistical analysis...having up-to-date data every time you hit the refresh button was clutch! You could build dashboards inside excel with real-time data and save old data to do time-aware analysis of all kind stuff - literally speeding up so much time.
Everyone knew how to use Excel, but very few people knew how to get API data into it by themselves.
Anyone else was a huge fan?
