XKCD 1053 is relevant here. You and I knew it, but there are going to be lots of people who learn about it for the first time today, and that's a net positive.

Yeah, but not a post for HN. Did you know Excel has a programming language!!!??? Whahhh!!!

HN still accepts new accounts. It's not an exclusive club for old people.

Even beyond that, stories have been repeating here since the beginning. Not everyone has the same life experiences, and not everyone checks HN at the same time.

I didn’t know about named ranges, and think it’s pretty cool. Of course, when I thought of places where I could apply them I realized that by the time I use enough Excel to use named ranges, I should probably switch to a real programming language.
