Sometimes I think I'm still chasing the feeling of setting the Number Munchers high score on every computer in the lab after school. #MECC

NYT wrote about my favorite eSport, the Microsoft Excel World Championships (MEWC) & Collegiate Championships (MECC). I was there for the semi-finals live at HyperX Arena in Las Vegas & I couldn't have had more fun!

Protip: Did you know Find & Replace in #Microsoft #Excel can 'find' cells based on FORMATTING then replace the cell with what you want.

There no way to do this without writing a macro but in competition, this is a cool way to revise your sheet.
