i use this equation:
take her drink and add the roofies, subtract the clothes, divide the legs and multiply...
Good equation for a hard problem!

I literally use Excel all day long.
I use it to output result spreadsheets and for data input into the simulation models that I create; for all kinds of statistical interpretation of data, for all the usual math functions, and the latest major thing I did with it was using it to determine distance between two zip codes for a model I was creating. It was quite a hefty bit of code determining distance between 2 points on a sphere.

A quick google search found me lots of pre-made great circle distance equations spreadsheets, java apllets and some lat/lon to UTM to distance applets as well.
I currently work on a program that catalogs and stores very large pictures of the earths surface with VERY precise image to ground math models. The type of thing where you can figure out how many feet between a pixel.
My biggest excel task was as a reliability engineer at Xerox. I made a whole weibull analysis tool kit that fit equations to colleccted data and even generated predicted failure distributions based of FMEA data.

Probably F=ma and derivations of it.

Yeah, I had seen those, but pre-made is no fun. 
That, and they didn't serve my exact purpose. But they jogged my memory on the formulas.

Still sometimes use E=mc squared on thinking about and explaining force of collisions. But I'm most often using conversions based upon 15 mph=22 ft per second, while deposing defendant drivers about their speeds, the distances they traveled, the time it took them to go those distances. Sometimes their answers convert into how they were doing 100 mph in a residential zone, and other times their answers turn into how they were doing 30 mph on an interstate highway.

Lately, its been Faraday's law, the Fermi-Dirac distribution, the Bose-Einstein distribution, the density of states for a 3-D infinite square well, and the Boltzmann distribution.
Gotta love quantum statistics. Well, not really, but they make it sound fun. At least, they try to make it sound fun, but its really not. Especially at 3 in the morning when you have homework due the next day, and you can't figure out what equation your supposed to be using, and nobody else in the class knows either.
