How about a diff tool to track changes in excel DATA, FORMULAS, and MACROS. Do you know how many business are run with handcrafted excel sheets that are not in source control?

Which is the correct budget model?

Budget.xlsx Budgetv2.xlsx Budget.final.xlsx Budget.v2.final.final.xlsx Budget.final.final.submitted.revised.xlsx

Those .xlsx files aren't just blobs. They're ZIP files. If you want version control for Office documents, it's as easy as unzipping them and checking in the results.
