Best Answer

I assume you mean "Microsoft Excel". Microsoft did, evolving out of the original Multiplan product. Refer to the wikipedia link here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Excel

If you mean who invented spreadsheets, the first spreadsheet I recall using that seemed to 'invent' a lot of the layout and functionality we see today was 'visicalc' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VisiCalc).It was certainly ahead of it's time and brought many business people into the personal computer world.

Who invented Excel?

Excel is a spreadsheet developed by Microsoft but is by no means the first spreadsheet. The very first spreadsheet was developed (or invented) by Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston called VisiCalc. VisiCalc was a spreadsheet written to operate on the Apple II computer and was released in 1979. The program was sold to Lotus who developed Lotus 123 from the VisiCalc principle. Lotus 123 was released in 1983. Excel, first released in 1987, is a development of the early spreadsheets and therefore cannot strictly be classified as an invention. Excel is far more powerful than VisiCalc but that is also a result of development over the years that Microsoft have been working on the product, and the increase in computing power. Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston never patented the product because software patents were almost unheard of in the 70s.

A simple meaning of word 'Excel'?

Microsoft Excel is the name of an electronic spreadsheet application that is produced by Microsoft and informally known as Excel. It is the leading spreadsheet application at the current time, and versions of it have been around since 1985. It is the most popular, but not the original electronic spreadsheet. That was VisiCalc, invented in 1978.
