Took an excel course while in college because it met a requirement.

I had a manager come up to me and show me his spreadsheet has spent a week building. (He was very proud)

I asked him why he didn’t use a pivot table and in a few seconds I had re-create it is exact report from the same source data.

I was involved in pretty much every high-level decision and a major corporation for several years there after because of that.
