Diarmuid Early has won the Microsoft Excel World Championship 2025, beating 23 other players in the LAN finals.
The three-day event took place at the HyperX Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, bringing together the world’s top Microsoft Excel players.
The finals saw the remaining 24 players compete to solve a complex case using Microsoft’s spreadsheet software. The final case, inspired by origami, involved players using their knowledge of the software to complete 130 questions spread across seven levels.
The winner of the tournament would be the first person to answer all the questions correctly, securing a themed championship belt and $5,000 (~£3,747) in prize money.
