Seriously, excel has a televised world championship now.
Might be… fun?

ModelOff was a really big excel competition annually in London but looks like they have stopped it this year, saying the focus on Excel only was no longer enough to crown a champion modeller. It was always really heavily Financal Modelling focussed though.

Yeah they may be able to build a fancy model from scratch, but how do they handle it when Bob from marketing asks them to check why the numbers aren't adding up in the absolute horror show of a workbook that he's tortured into submission over the past 10 years.

I can't be the only one looking at the entrants and adding them to the list of consultants to avoid for any kind of future modelling requirements?!

Clearly one of the entry conditions is that part of your name must be pronounced completely differently to how it is spelled....

They look like the sort of chaps who'd eat their fish, chips and beans in strict order.

would probably order an exact number of beans, same for chips and the cooked fish must be a specified weight.
Watching paint dry would be preferable.

Bob was called Irina in our organisation, who helpfully has now left.
