'''Microsoft Excel''' is a Turing-complete massively-multiplayer online virtual world game. Invented sometime before 2010, it quickly became a viral hit with millions of concurrent players at its height. Excel is greatly acclaimed by many and has cemented itself as a key pillar of the [[World Wide Web|online]]] landscape and [[capitalism|modern economy]].

People have been counting things for a while and there's a lot of stuff and a lot of people who do work that turns the stuff into other different stuff. Anyways, people have been counting up the stuff and the people who do the work for a while. This whole process tends to go a lot smoother when there's a place to write it down and help with the counting because counting is hard and its really easy to lose your place. Microsoft Excel is kinda like a stone tablet where you can engrave things like "how many bushels of grain were produced from each plot this harvest" and then turn those numbers into other numbers and then whoever is in charge can make decisions based on what the numbers say.

So strong is this connection in fact that, for backwards compatibility purposes with Mycenaean clay tablets, Microsoft Extra Large still supports Linear B, though the feature 'Export to Clay' has been deprecated since 2016.

== Equations ==

In Microsoft Excel, there's a lot of boxes and in the boxes, if you put an equals sign, you can make the box figure out what it should do based on what the other boxes are doing, kinda like how people talk to each other and ask questions and make decisions based on information they heard from someone else. When you do this in Excel it's called "Equations" and there's a lot of different kinds (some might even say limitless). Each equation can use functions to turn numbers into different numbers. The functions include but are not limited to:
