I've done some seriously stupid shit in excel, mostly due to it being the only tool I had. By the time I handed the project off to someone else for maintenance/feature creep, there were VLOOKUP ranges spanning dozens of columns. VLOOKUP doesn't care what column the target is named, only the offset from the beginning of the range. So being able to calculate CA minus W is pretty handy.
