The next big thing on ESPN is… Microsoft Excel

As a former “Excel monkey”, I am extremely tickled by the fact that what used to be analyst bravado about Excel skills (being able to create big spreadsheet models without touching the mouse was a big thing) is now a sport with viewers.

But it’s a testament to how powerful and versatile spreadsheets are. And how many people know what it is.

The joke in SaaS is that every SaaS product is basically competing with Excel. Well, apparently, Excel’s competing with e-sports and games now too!
