We’re celebrating a huge milestone this year— Excel is turning 40! 🥳
From the humble beginnings of spreadsheets to today’s powerhouse features like PivotTables, Power Query, XLOOKUP, LET & LAMBDA, Python, and Copilot, Excel has evolved in ways we couldn’t have imagined—thanks to YOU, our amazing community.
To celebrate, we’re hosting a Reddit AMA on September 30, 2025, at 10 AM PT. Bring your questions about Excel’s past, present, and future. Whether you’re a spreadsheet wizard or just starting out, this is your chance to ask us anything!
👉 Mark your calendars and join the conversation!
