Microsoft Excel (full name Microsoft Office Excel) is a spreadsheet application written and distributed by Microsoft for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS. It features calculation and graphing tools which, along with aggressive marketing, have made Excel one of the most popular microcomputer applications to date. It is overwhelmingly the dominant spreadsheet application available for these platforms and has been so since version 5 in 1993 and its bundling as part of Microsoft Office.

[edit] History
Microsoft originally marketed a spreadsheet program called Multiplan in 1982, which was very popular on CP/M systems, but on MS-DOS systems it lost popularity to Lotus 1-2-3. This promoted development of a new spreadsheet called Excel which started with the intention to, in the words of Doug Klunder, 'do everything 1-2-3 does and do it better' . The first version of Excel was released for the Mac in 1985 and the first Windows version (numbered 2.0 to line-up with the Mac and bundled with a run-time Windows environment) was released in November 1987. Lotus was slow to bring 1-2-3 to Windows and by 1988 Excel had started to outsell 1-2-3 and helped Microsoft achieve the position of leading PC software developer. This accomplishment, dethroning the king of the software world, solidified Microsoft as a valid competitor and showed its future of developing graphical software. Microsoft pushed its advantage with regular new releases, every two years or so. The current version for the Windows platform is Excel 12, also called Microsoft Office Excel 2007. The current version for the Mac OS X platform is Microsoft Excel 2004.
Early in its life Excel became the target of a trademark lawsuit by another company already selling a software package named "Excel" in the finance instry. As the result of the dispute Microsoft was required to refer to the program as "Microsoft Excel" in all of its formal press releases and legal documents. However, over time this practice has been ignored, and Microsoft cleared up the issue permanently when they purchased the trademark to the other program. Microsoft also encouraged the use of the letters XL as shorthand for the program; while this is no longer common, the program's icon on Windows still consists of a stylized combination of the two letters, and the file extension of the default Excel format is .xls.
Excel offers many user interface tweaks over the earliest electronic spreadsheets; however, the essence remains the same as in the original spreadsheet, VisiCalc: the cells are organized in rows and columns, and contain data or formulas with relative or absolute references to other cells.
Excel was the first spreadsheet that allowed the user to define the appearance of spreadsheets (fonts, character attributes and cell appearance). It also introced intelligent cell recomputation, where only cells dependent on the cell being modified are updated (previous spreadsheet programs recomputed everything all the time or waited for a specific user command). Excel has extensive graphing capabilities.
When first bundled into Microsoft Office in 1993, Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint had their GUIs redesigned for consistency with Excel, the killer app on the PC at the time.
Since 1993, Excel has included Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), a programming language based on Visual Basic which adds the ability to automate tasks in Excel and to provide user defined functions (UDF) for use in worksheets. VBA is a powerful addition to the application which, in later versions, includes a fully featured integrated development environment (IDE). Macro recording can proce VBA code replicating user actions, thus allowing simple automation of regular tasks. VBA allows the creation of forms and in-worksheet controls to communicate with the user. The language supports use (but not creation) of ActiveX (COM) DLL's; later versions add support for class moles allowing the use of basic object-oriented programming techniques.
The automation functionality provided by VBA has caused Excel to become a target for macro viruses. This was a serious problem in the corporate world until antivirus procts began to detect these viruses. Microsoft belatedly took steps to prevent the misuse by adding the ability to disable macros completely, to enable macros when opening a workbook or to trust all macros signed using a trusted certificate.
Versions 5.0 to 9.0 of Excel contain various Easter eggs, although since version 10 Microsoft has taken measures to eliminate such undocumented features from their procts.

Microsoft Excel 由Microsoft为使用Windows和Apple Macintosh操作系统的电脑而编写和运行的一款试算表软件。直观的界面、出色的计算功能和图表工具，再加上成功的市场营销，使Excel成为最流行的微机数据处理软件。在1993年，作为Microsoft Office的组件发布了5.0版之后，Excel就开始成为所适用操作平台上的电子制表软件的霸主。

1982年，Microsoft推出了它的第一款电子制表软件-Multiplan，并在CP/M系统上大获成功，但在MS-DOS系统上，Multiplan败给了Lotus 1-2-3。这个事件促使了Excel的诞生，正如Excel研发代号Doug Klunder：做Lotus1-2-3能做的，并且做的更好。1985年，第一款Excel诞生，它只用于Mac系统；1987年11月，第一款适用于Windows系统的Excel也产生了（与Windows环境直接*，在Mac中的版本号为2.0）。Lotus1-2-3迟迟不能适用于Windows系统，到了1988年，Excel的销量超过了1-2-3，使得Microsoft站在了PC软件商的领先位置。这次的事件，促成了软件王国霸主的更替，Microsoft巩固了它强有力的竞争者地位，并从中找到了发展图形软件的方向。此后大约每两年，Microsoft就会推出新的版本来扩大自身的优势，目前Excel的最新版本为12，也被称作Microsofot Office Excel 2007。
早期，由于和另一家公司出售的名为Excel的软件同名，Excel曾成为了商标法的目标，经过审判，Microsoft被要求在它的正式文件和法律文档中以Microsoft Excel来命名这个软件。但是，随着时间的过去，这个惯例也就逐渐消逝了。 Excel虽然提供了大量的用户界面特性，但它仍然保留了第一款电子制表软件VisiCalc的特性：行、列组成单元格，数据、与数据相关的公式或者对其他单元格的绝对引用保存在单元格中。
Excel是第一款允许用户自定义界面的电子制表软件（包括字体、文字属性和单元格格式）。它还引进了"智能重算"的功能，当单元格数据变动时，只有与之相关的数据才会更新，而原先的制表软件只能重算全部数据或者等待下一个指令。同时，Excel还有强大的图形功能。
1993年Excel第一次被*进Microsoft Office中时，Microsoft就对Microsoft Word和PowerPoint的界面进行了重新设计，以适应这款当时极为流行的应用程序。
从1993年，Excel就开始支持Visual Basic for Applications（VBA）.VBA是一款功能强大的工具，它使Excel形成了独立的编程环境。使用VBA和巨集，可以把手工步骤自动化，VBA也允许创建窗体来获得用户输入的信息。但是，VBA的自动化功能也导致Excel成为巨集病毒的攻击目标。
从5.0到9.0，Excel中都隐藏了不同的复活节彩蛋。
