VisiCalc is considered the first electronic spreadsheet successfully developed and implemented on personal computers.1979 - Bricklin decided to promote the first prototype of VisiCalc, for it creates the company Software Arts Corporation with Bob Frankston, both released the first version of VisiCalc for the Apple 2 computer at a price of $ 100 in this first version of the electronic spreadsheet is compound by a total of 20 rows and 4 columns.1982 - The Microsoft Bill Gates' company develops Multiplan an electronic spreadsheet as an alternative to VisCalc, Multiplan be the basis for developing the Excel spreadsheet.1983 - Launches to the market the Lotus 1-2-3 software, an electronic spreadsheet compatible with IBM computers and MS-Dos operating system, its success moved from VisiCalc market given the ability to generate graphs and the possibility of using predefined functions and ease of use by having a menu at the top of the screen. Later in Lotus 123 version 2.0 will include programming and automation of spreadsheets using macros.1985 - Launched the first version of Excel, which was developed by Microsoft for the Apple Macintosh, this first version drop-down menus are available as well as the possibility of using the mouse, ease of use was the reason so many people and companies decided to buy a Macintosh to use Excel as a calculation tool.1987 - Birth of a new Excel 2.0 version of the famous electronic spreadsheet developed for Windows 2.0, the success of the Microsoft office software moves and deletes to other electronic spreadsheets such as Lotus 1-2-3
