spreadsheet is an interactive computer application for organization, analysis and storage of

data in tabular form.[1][2][3] Spreadsheets are developed as computerized simulations of paper

accounting worksheets.[4] The program operates on data entered in cells of a table. Each cell

may contain either numeric or text data, or the results of formulas that automatically calculate

and display a value based on the contents of other cells. A spreadsheet may also refer to one

such electronic document.

Spreadsheets have replaced paper-based systems throughout the business world. Although

they were first developed for accounting or bookkeeping tasks, they now are used extensively

in any context where tabular lists are built, sorted, and shared.

Usage

A spreadsheet consists of a table of cells arranged into rows and columns and referred to by the

X and Y locations. X locations, the columns, are normally represented by letters, "A", "B", "C",

etc., while rows are normally represented by numbers, 1, 2, 3, etc. A single cell can be referred

to by addressing its row and column, "C10" for instance. This electronic concept of cell

references was first introduced in LANPAR (Language for Programming Arrays at Random)

(co-invented by Rene Pardo and Remy Landau) and a variant used in VisiCalc, and known as

"A1 notation". Additionally, spreadsheets have the concept of a range, a group of cells, normally

contiguous. For instance, one can refer to the first ten cells in the first column with the range

"A1:A10". LANPAR innovated forward referencing/natural order calculation which didn't re-

appear until Lotus 123 and Microsoft's MultiPlan Version 2.

Users interact with sheets primarily through the cells. A given cell can hold data by simply

entering it in, or a formula, which is normally created by preceding the text with an equals sign.

Data might include the string of text hello world, the number 5 or the date 16-Dec-91. A formula

would begin with the equals sign, =5*3, but this would normally be invisible because the

display shows the result of the calculation, 15 in this case, not the formula itself. This may lead

to confusion in some cases.

History

Paper spreadsheets

The word "spreadsheet" came from "spread" in its sense of a newspaper or magazine item (text

or graphics) that covers two facing pages, extending across the center fold and treating the two

pages as one large one.

Early implementations

Batch spreadsheet report generator

A batch "spreadsheet" is indistinguishable from a batch compiler with added input data,

producing an output report, i.e., a 4GL or conventional, non-interactive, batch computer

program. However, this concept of an electronic spreadsheet was outlined in the 1961 paper

"Budgeting Models and System Simulation" by Richard Mattessich.[15] The subsequent work by

Mattessich (1964a, Chpt. 9, Accounting and Analytical Methods) and its companion volume,

Mattessich (1964b, Simulation of the Firm through a Budget Computer Program) applied

computerized spreadsheets to accounting and budgeting systems (on mainframe computers

programmed in FORTRAN IV). These batch Spreadsheets dealt primarily with the addition or

subtraction of entire columns or rows (of input variables), rather than individual cells.

LANPAR spreadsheet compiler

A key invention in the development of electronic spreadsheets was made by Rene K. Pardo and

Remy Landau, who filed in 1970 U.S. Patent 4,398,249 on a spreadsheet automatic natural order

calculation algorithm.

Autoplan/Autotab spreadsheet programming language

In 1968, three former employees from the General Electric computer company headquartered in

Phoenix, Arizona set out to start their own software development house. A. Leroy Ellison,

Harry N. Cantrell, and Russell E. Edwards found themselves doing a large number of

calculations when making tables for the business plans that they were presenting to venture

capitalists.

IBM Financial Planning and Control System

The IBM Financial Planning and Control System was developed in 1976, by Brian Ingham at

IBM Canada. It was implemented by IBM in at least 30 countries.

APLDOT modeling language

An example of an early "industrial weight" spreadsheet was APLDOT, developed in 1976 at the

United States Railway Association on an IBM 360/91, running at The Johns Hopkins University

Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, MD.

VisiCalc

Because of Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston's implementation of VisiCalc on the Apple II in 1979

and the IBM PC in 1981, the spreadsheet concept became widely known in the late 1970s and

early 1980s. VisiCalc was the first spreadsheet that combined all essential features of modern

spreadsheet applications.
