Worse - pulling data from a web page, then using the power of pure jank to parse this input, and then invoking a sheet of reference string builders to construct formulae and execute them using too damn many @indirects nested into vlookups before finally adding in date aware data reveals, because no excel abomination is complete without trying to parse dates.
Shit man, I'm sure there's an xkcd for that.
Either that or medication!

Fucking hell, I understood that. I have slipped and fallen into the dark side. Learn from my mistakes and turn back before you get to this point. There is no hope for me now.
I abandoned hope long ago when I learned that excel was turing complete.
The darkness has already consumed me, there is no salvation from this sin.
