My favorite off-label use of spreadsheets is to compose parameterized SQL. Of course, if our data models were better there would be less of a need for parameterized SQL. :)

I am really curious about both sides of your comment, but I don't know where to start asking. How do you write parametrized SQL in a spreadsheet? And what is wrong with our data models? What even _are_ our data models?
