Despite its age, Excel continues to evolve with new functions being added over time. There are newer better Excel functions that you should use instead of the old ones. But, there are also some old Excel functions that you don't need to stop using — because you never used them to begin with.
Excel remains a relic, despite all its updates. That’s because Excel never removes functions; every new one is simply added to the existing pile. It makes sense when you consider the compability issues (what if a company still uses a spreadsheet they made twenty years ago?) but it also provides some really interesting snapshots of its history. I went looking, got lost in the maze, and came back with a handful of Excel functions that I'm sure no one uses today.
The strangest Excel functions you'll never use
