Healthcare and insurance too! I transform into some glorious magical elf when I volunteer to do the VBA tasks nobody else understands or can lower themselves to do.

You can make Excel do some real wacky stuff. I have a spreadsheet that actually calls out to exec() to run a curl POST on commandline and consume REST API endpoints, parse the results, and update the spreadsheet -- why on earth?? because the API was ready but the web app was delayed. I was the fix. :D
