Microsoft Excel (a) ACTS: the interface is operated to demonstrate autofill, formatting, and data manipulation. Removing it would change the entire video as it is the subject of the skit. (b) none.

What is this? It's Microsoft Excel. Now hold still. I'm about to perform a miracle. She wants to see a 10% growth. Yeah, yeah. I'll work up the first two quarters. We could tell her that you got mugged on Friday night. Nah, she'd want a police report. It's called autofill. It's going to finish the table for me. I just drag this little cross as far as I want the data extended. Don't panic. I'm just gonna drag the table over here and make room for it. Hey, hey, did you just drag that? My spreadsheet doesn't do that. O okay, watch this. Add that title, a little bigger, centered. I better format those numbers. Click on the table, click the right mouse button, get the shortcut menu for numbers. We want currency formats. This one looks good. Looks great, this is a miracle. This is Microsoft Excel.
