I have very little artistic ability, but I am very good with Excel. I also need to push myself and Excel, to see what is possible and how much I can get out of it. When I make business spreadsheets, I want to make Excel do what my client needs it to do and not just what others think it can do, so I set myself side projects such as this one. This helps me to develop skills to better help my clients.

This time I set myself the target to create images in Excel. I could use 250 x 250 (62,500) very small cells, and I could colour each one in using one of 210 colours. I do this not using artistic ability (which is good, just ask anyone who’s ever been on my Pictionary team), but logic, maths, and Excel know-how.

All of these images are created in this way 250 x 250 coloured cells to make each image, scroll through and take a look.
