Microsoft Excel
Microsoft Excel is a commercial spreadsheet application written and distributed by Microsoft for
Microsoft_Windows and Mac OS X. It features calculation, graphing tools, pivot tables, and a
macro programming language called Visual Basic for Applications. It has been a very widely
applied spreadsheet for these platforms, especially since version 5 in 1993, and it has almost
completely replaced Lotus 1-2-3 as the industry standard for spreadsheets. Excel forms part of
Microsoft Office.
Microsoft Excel has the basic features of all spreadsheets,^ using a grid of cells arranged in
numbered rows and letter-named columns to organize data manipulations like arithmetic
operations. It has a battery of supplied functions to answer statistical, engineering and financial
needs. It can display data as line graphs, histograms and charts, and with a very limited three-
dimensional graphical display. It allows sectioning of data to view its dependencies on various
factors for different perspectives. It has a programming aspect, Visual Basic for Applications,
allowing the user to employ a wide variety of numerical methods, for example, for solving
differential equations of mathematical physic, and then reporting the results back to the
spreadsheet. It also has a variety of interactive features allowing user interfaces that can
completely hide the spreadsheet from the user, so the spreadsheet presents itself as a so-called
application, or decision support system (DSS), via a custom-designed user interface, for example,
a stock analyzer, or in general, as a design tool that asks the user questions and provides answers
instruments using an update schedule, ш analyze the results, make a Word report or Power Point
slide show, and e-mail these presentations on a regular basis to a list of participants.
