The Financial Modeling World Cup (FMWC) hosts regular international competitions, both invitational and open to anyone, in which Microsoft Excel pros strive to solve as many questions as possible from a complex task.

Featured in this all-star battle was 2021 FMWC World Cup winner Diarmuid Early, an FMWC grandmaster from Ireland who claims 10,000 hours in Excel. The winner of the first championship in 2020, Joseph Lau (28,600 hours), also competed, along with six other highly ranked function warriors.

No finance, just Excel and logical thinking skills. Use IFS, XLOOKUP, SUM, VBA, Power Query: anything is allowed, and the strategy is up to you.
