Totally selected the wrong meme for the old title, but here we are.

Ask how much they get paid, then go to your boss asking for a raise because you can actually use excel, and this other person can't. You deserve more than they do, and id your boss won't give you the raise, you can go down to your coworkers level and stop using excel.

It never takes them long to see your value when you stop giving it to them.

unfortunately, this person actually works for a different company so i don't see this being effective - it's a joint project contract type deal. i could see this advice being more reasonable in a traditional single-employer working environment though
