`How long have you been using Microsoft Exc
`
`Have you ever thought how Excel or the othe
`electronic spreadsheet softwares came to
`existence?
`
`In today’s post, we will go back in time to trac
`the origin of Excel. So, here we go:
`
`While the origin of electronic spreadsheets c
`be traced back to 1978, but it wasn’t until 198
`when Microsoft jumped into the arena of
`Electronic spreadsheets with a product known as MultiPlan.
`
`Muliplan was Microsoft’s first electronic spreadsheet program. It was introduced in 1982 as
`competitor for VisiCalc (the first ever electronic spreadsheet program). The key difference
`between Multiplan and its competitors was Microsoft’s decision to use R1C1 addressing
`instead of the A1 addressing which was introduced by VisiCalc.
`
`Muliplan was very popular on CP/M systems, but on MS-DOS systems it lost fame to Lotus
`1-2-3. This thing motivated Microsoft to develop another spreadsheet product Excel.The fi
`version of Excel was released in 1985 for Mac. Later in November 1987, the first Windows
`version was released.

`
`It all started with VisiCalc:
`In 1978, Harvard Business School student Dan Bricklin developed a program called VisiCalc
`was a relatively small program with few basic capabilities. It could only calculate data withi
`matrix of 5 columns by 20 rows.
`To make VisiCalc more powerful Bricklin hired Bob Frankston, who is also known as the co
`creator of VisiCalc. Frankston made the program fast and with better arithmetic. VisiCalc w
`an instant success and the duo were able to sell around 1 million copies of the program.
`
`Note: You can still download an original copy of Visicalc from Dan Bricklin’s website:
`http://www.bricklin.com/history/vcexecutable.htm [size: 27 K]
`
`What followed VisiCalc?
`After the phenomenal success of VisiCalc, a team headed by Mitch Kapor in 1983, develope
`new spreadsheet program called Lotus 1-2-3. Mitch and his team power packed Lotus 1-2-3
`with charting, graphing and rudimentary database capabilities along with the basic
`arithmetic. This made Lotus 1-2-3 a new favourite in the industry.
`
`Although, before this in 1982 Microsoft had already launched Muliplan but it was outshined
`Lotus 1-2-3. And this thing provoked Microsoft to come up with Microsoft Excel and rest is
`history.
