Somewhat tangential (more Excel related) but had to put these videos by Krazam somewhere at some point on HN. Enjoy! MAKRO | Microsoft Excel Stream Highlights 3/19 [LINK] MAKRO | XLOOKUP: META BREAKER? | Microsoft Excel Stream Highlights 10/19 [this video]

That makes me think of these two great parody videos from ~5 years back, of Excel using e-sport tropes, introduced but a (fictional) livestreaming competitor nicknamed Makro. "Microsoft Excel stream highlights" [LINK] "XLOOKUP" [this video]

A while ago I watched a couple of videos by Krazam [0][1] on competitive Excel. Thought it was just a sketch, didn't realize it was actually a thing. [0] [this video] [1] [LINK]
