      Generate localization strings in all requested languages with the “translate” macro without proof checking because you don’t speak Finnish or Japanese?

        Worse - pulling data from a web page, then using the power of pure jank to parse this input, and then invoking a sheet of reference string builders to construct formulae and execute them using too damn many @indirects nested into vlookups before finally adding in date aware data reveals, because no excel abomination is complete without trying to parse dates.

          Fucking hell, I understood that. I have slipped and fallen into the dark side. Learn from my mistakes and turn back before you get to this point. There is no hope for me now.

            I abandoned hope long ago when I learned that excel was turing complete.

            The darkness has already consumed me, there is no salvation from this sin.

      i once used an excel sheet to emulated a von Newman architecture ALU+RAM

      fun and useless, but very (un)efficient way to calculate Fibonacci numbers
