Microsoft needed a good spreadsheet program to compete with others that were already in existence. The first was Visicalc, launched in 1979. Excel's first version was in 1985. A spreadsheet is a very powerful application that can do a huge amount of things, so it was vital for Microsoft to have one to sell.
