Excel: The industry-leading spreadsheet application, driving data analysis and visualization for millions with powerful functions (VLOOKUP, SUM) and tools (PivotTables).

Microsoft Excel is the definitive spreadsheet editor, a core component of the Microsoft 365 suite since its 1985 inception. It provides a comprehensive platform for data management and financial modeling. Modern versions handle massive datasets: 1,048,576 rows and 16,384 columns (XFD) per sheet. Essential functions like VLOOKUP, SUM, and AVERAGE enable rapid calculation and statistical analysis. Advanced features—including PivotTables, Conditional Formatting, and the Data Analysis ToolPak—transform raw data into actionable business intelligence and professional charts. Excel also supports automation via VBA macros and, recently, Python programming, cementing its status as the global standard for reporting and complex data work.

### [Spreadsheets are all you need](https://seattle.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_8v5-XzScCnw)

Spreadsheets-are-all-you-need implements the forward pass of GPT2 entirely in Excel using standard spreadsheet functions. By using a spreadsheet anyone can explore and play directly with how a “real” transformer works under the hood with minimal abstractions to get in the way.
