EARLY HISTORY
Microsoft Excel has been around since 1982, first introduced as Multiplan, a very popular CP/M (Control Program
for Microcomputers), but lost popularity on MS-DOS systems to Lotus 1-2-3. In
1987, Microsoft introduced Excel v2. 0 for Windows and by 1988 began to outsell Lotus 1-2-3 and the emerging
QuatroPro.
• In 1993, Microsoft released Excel v5.0 for Windows which included VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), aka Macros. This
opened up almost unlimited possibilities in automation of repetitive tasks for crunching numbers, process automation, and
presenting data for businesses.
