Best Answer

The first electronic spreadsheet was VisiCalc, invented in 1978. Other companies copied the idea and created their own spreadsheet programs. Microsoft initially had a program called Multiplan, which they launched in 1982. It did not do as well as other spreadsheets around at that time and in 1985 Excel was launched for the Macintosh computer. The first PC version was in 1987.
