Celebrating World Spreadsheet Day

Today we honor the humble grid that revolutionized how we work, analyze, and innovate.

🎉 Initiated by Excel expert Debra Dalgleish, this day marks the release of VisiCalc on October 17, 1979 the first spreadsheet software for personal computers.

🧠 From VisiCalc to Microsoft Excel, spreadsheets have evolved into decision-driving engines across industries.

💡 Excel isn’t just a product it’s a platform for creativity, automation, and insight.

Whether you’re building dashboards, crunching numbers, or modeling space missions (yes, NASA uses Excel!), today’s the day to celebrate the magic of cells and formulas.

📊 How has Excel shaped your work or learning journey?
