An IT professional who thought he was "good at Excel" can now prove it after he reached the final of a global competition.
Harry Watson, 25, is usually a senior systems analyst in Sudbury, Suffolk, but in December he went to Las Vegas to compete at the World Excel Championships.
He was introduced to the concept of competitive spreadsheet events by his friend a couple of years back and "it turned out I was pretty good", he told the BBC.
Mr Watson said he first became aware of his talent at school in Colchester, Essex, where he was "by far" the most proficient at using spreadsheets.
