Can anyone tell me something really cool that Excel can do?

Can anyone tell me something really cool that Excel can do? I have to give a
presentation at school on this and it has to be something that is not obvious
to everyone. I thinking making the screen flash or music sound when
particular data is entered or something. Maybe a video play when this
happens. Can anyone help?

Google can do some pretty cool things:

Results 1 - 10 of about 7,090,000 for Excel Play Music. (0.25 seconds)

Hi Kevin,

I have some fun (dumb) stuff like almost every one has. Kinda off the wall
and mostly of no practical use, but does have some curiosity to it.

I'd be glad to send you some workbooks if you like.

I'm at [email protected]

Regards,
Howard
