아별One of the things that is incredibly satisfying about working on the Excel team is seeing how people use Excel in unbelievably cool and unexpected ways for work and for fun. There have been a few great examples of this floating around the internet and the news recently, and I thought I’d share a few of my favorites.
Pixel spreadsheet
The bright minds over at Think Maths have developed a tool that lets you turn a digital photo into an Excel spreadsheet with the clever use of the conditional formatting feature in Excel. If you ever wanted to convert your photo collection into Excel pixel art, now you can!

Slaying dragons like an Excel boss
Accountant Cary Walkin from Canada built an entire role playing game (RPG) leveraging the power of macros in Excel. You can download the game and even modify it for free here. The game has over 2,000 enemies, a variety of weapons, and even spells.

Excel art
We have certainly seen a lot of Excel art over the years, but Tatsuo Horiuchi in Japan creates some very impressive pieces leveraging shapes and illustrations tools built into Excel. Imagine what you could do for your next budget review!
Take a look at some Horiuchi creations here.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles come to the rescue
One of my favorite cartoons growing up is now available within Excel. Reddit user Hoguemr had some downtime at work and created this awesome Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animation by leveraging VBA and Macros in Excel. Cowabunga!
See an animated GIF with the beloved TMNT here. You can also download the original file from SkyDrive.
