As an engineer calculus is pretty fundamental to my job. It underpins all sorts of stuff - Heat transfer, fluid flow, stress and strain rates, beam deflection, fracture mechanics etc.
I may not be solving differential equations by hand but I'm using knowledge about calculus everytime I reason about our industrial process.
The excel part is probably referring to solvers - where you plug in boundary conditions and spits out a solution. Edit - and excel or R (or Matlab) is what you use in lieu of needing to solve this stuff by hand.
