Notas do Editor
- How many people have to use spreadsheets every day at work (Excel or Google Sheets)? Of those who raised your hands, how many love using spreadsheets?
- Let’s start from the beginning on how I became addicted to Excel. It started with the international financial modeling competition in 2013 Tell story about Modeloff and customer support saving time
- Community of Excel nerds
- Excel underpins many enterprises
- I classify no-code tools on a spectrum of external (building websites starting from Wordpress to Webflow) and internal use (Coda, Airtable). Many tools blur the lines between external and internal
- This is what I started with as a financial analyst Realized with formulas, I could build tools instead of models that: Get used more than once Require other people to input data Provide similar functionality as other paid apps
- There are custom-built apps built, but is a spreadsheet better?
- Spreadsheets no longer used just to keep track of forecasts, this is a multiplayer application that is supposed to be used multiple times So far we’ve seen how spreadsheets can potentially replace apps, but in this next example, I want to show you why you should re-think your tools
- Starting to see apps, docs, and spreadsheets merge VBA came out in 1993 Discuss transitioning freelance clients to no-code tools Build both and show both side-by-side Generally the no-code tool is better because it’s online (cloud), real-time collaboration, easier to maintain
- Tatsuo Horiuchi 77-year old Excel artist
- No-code tools fundamentally challenged my beliefs about what is possible with data manipulation. I thought the limits of what I could do with data were constrained to a few Excel functions Again, we’re seeing spreadsheets and apps converging and spreadsheets are not the best platform to build apps
- History of Grids blog post by Jeff Cardello
- Visicalc (1978) Multiplan (1982) Lotus 1-2-3 (1983) Excel 1.0 (1985)
- Illustration from Matthew McDonald on why MS Access will not die Was going to do a comparison between spreadsheets and no-code platforms, but realized that every platform is doing what Excel does but taking a different spin on it Despite its shortcomings, everyone still uses spreadsheets because it’s accessible, on everyone’s computer already, and does a few things really well
- As we rethink the tools we use to build apps and solutions, let’s not forget the ultimate goal: make it easy for users to do their job I like this quote about why Excel and MS Access endure
- Tech Model Railroad Club - 1940s Homebrew Computer CLub - 1970s Agile Manifesto - 2001 Excel - 2013 Main reason I joined the Coda team was because I was active in the community forums, and saw how much people were willing to help each other out
- 10+ years building tools in spreadsheets and this is what I’ve learned
