The way you are using Excel causes errors, creates incomprehensible spaghetti spreadsheets, and makes me want to stab out my own eyes. Enough of the =VLOOKUPs with the C3:$F$38. You don't even know what that means.

Recorded Live at Stack Overflow on Tuesday, September 8, 2015.

Excel is incredibly powerful. Watch an accountant or financial expert in a mid to large company use it. They'll use functions you've never heard of...and don't require writing Python.
Or watch this video and level-up your Excel! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNuC6ayrNKQ
Note: Joel Spolsky (co-founder of Stack Overflow, Trello, FogBugz, more) was a program manager for Excel in 90's.
