History of Excel functions

Copper Contributor

Hi, is there a way to find out the list of available functions from very old Excel versions? Like Excel 95 or even earlier. Just for being curious. :) Support pages of today won't go that far. I would like to have a picture of the development path of Excel.

Releases and docs for Excel versions prior to 2000 available here:

It'd be good to have a comprehensive worksheet function history for the record, please attach if successful!

I thought I would just want to get the list of functions of each versions - but now that I know Excel 1.0 is available, I have a strong and honest urge to get an emulator for that! :D
OMG!!! I was going through the different versions on that page and laughing about the references to floppy 3.5 and 5.25 but when I got to version 97/98 and saw the installation instructions I couldn't keep my laugh in:
Release notes
This is the standalone retail CD-ROM version of Excel 97.

Installation instructions
Step 1: Get hammer. Step 2: SMASH CLIPPY!
