I love Excel! I wrote my first GUI "app" as a bunch of macro buttons and learned alot about VB from reading and manipulating the resulting code of the created macros. Yeah that was 1997 and I probably wouldn't do that today, although someone else new to IT might 🙂

I use Excel regularly when I want to do simple things that would be harder to do in SQL server, things that require analyzing data one time, etc.

Long live Excel! 😀
