I spent many years(now retired) in the Pulp and Paper industry.
Excel was/is used extensively for arranging/manipulating data gathered by
Process Information systems.
Excel is a very good tool for monitoring data to look at trends in the various
processes, both real time and historical.

My department uses excel for a whole boat load of different things.
From doing equipment pricing/costing, to help with calculations during
engineering.
One of the common functions that I use it for is to take data from disparate
sources and to combine them into a workbook that others can play what-if
scenarios. We take data from the AS/400 (MACPAC), mainframe (engineering
files), UNIX (dumps of customer telephone switches) and combine them into a
single source.
I also take data from systems that others can't access and reformat it into
workbooks (excel is THE language of business--don't let anyone tell you it's
powerpoint <vbg).
And there are a lot of adhoc reports that get generated everyday. Just using
excel's Data|filter|autofilter can make looking for information pretty easy.
