Funny, from my point of view, Excel is an instance of VBA that has a spreadsheet shoehorned onto it :)

I decided to save the 1000 word Essay On The Merits Of My Excel Sheet That Codes In Ruby and Silk for another time.  

Suffice it to say, I'd rather not spend my day developing endless variations on the same code, but let Ruby includes handle the bulk of the work and let Excel generate the pieces of the code that need to extract and track a lot of data for the testers.  And it has saved hundreds of hours in the last year.

This doesn't always produce ecstatic results.  Because my group got finished a month earlier than expected on the current project, we now have inherited other work that is more than "filling the time alloted".

The hero gets to fight the bigger monsters, I guess.
