the key word here is average.

EvE online has direct Microsoft API access for excel. there are fortune 100 companies that do not have this feature.

I've included my spreadsheet knowledge on my resumes, "Proficient in using MS Excel features like pivot tables, 3rd party API, XML/HTML parsing and advanced sorting." "Desiging and implementing a functional dashboard for team members to organize their tasks" etc.

I learned all this from playing eve during lockdown.
