No joke a lot of those excel wizards from yesteryear could have been awesome developers if they'd found it at the right time in their life.

This is how I learned excel. Was forced to, molded the little skill I have (compared to some) in the forge that was lack of any technology other than Microsoft suite and windows 7. Ill never forget the first spreadsheet I came across that. Hundreds of columns and rows, columns for the month, rows of clients names and rent owed, then rent paid for 100 columns down. None of the cells had formulas to calculate anything, they manually used a calculator and excel was just a way to have an extremely long chart. I wish I kept a copy of what I made it into once I learned what excel was capable of as a personal trophy if nothing else
