One who is adept in the exquisite art of Microsoft Excel. Frequently one with professional experience requiring extensive use of Excel (
e.g., investment banking, financial analysis). Specifically the abilities to do things with Excel for which it was not intended (
e.g., word processing) or create files quickly using arcane keyboard shortcuts are
common traits of the Excel Ninja.

e, s, v.
Chris: Truly your status as an Excel Ninja is beyond
question.
David:
Booyah!
