  Haha, probably not. At uni students have taken control of a entire pilot plant using excel (Controls and Process Engineering) Excel is pretty versatile

  Strictly speaking, this is with a Python plugin in Excel. That said, Excel is pretty capable on it's own.

    You could do this with VBa, you would want to poke your own eyes out afterwards probably but it wouldn't be too hard.

      I'm actually quite a fan of VBA (and VB6). It's incredibly fast to get something working out of the door, and after all, that is what pays the bills. I built an entire timesheet data collection system for a large organisation in 2000 using Excel+VBA in Office 2000. It wrote data in CSV format onto a network share which was pumped into their AS400. It scaled quite happily across 45000 (!) global users...

  Excel is like Legos. Thinking back, it is astonishing all the things one can jury rig together- from plain Jane spreadsheets to an interview candidate tracking & scheduling system to Japanese candlestick charting
