Line 1: ~~{{stub}}~~{{np language}} [[wp:Microsoft_Excel\|Excel]] is a [[wp:Spreadsheet\|spreadsheet]] program from [[wp:Microsoft_Office\|Microsoft Office]] suite applications. Excel provides calculations, [[wp:Spreadsheet#Cell_reference\|cell referencing]], and illustration of data sheets by using its ''functions'', ''formulas'', ''graphs'', etc. ~~Hence, even though Excel is not a programming application/language, it can be used to solve certain programming related tasks.~~ The Excel formula language consists of several hundred pure functions, and only constitutes a Turing-complete programming language in recent builds (Office 365 beta, 2021) which have introduced a LAMBDA function, and the ability to bind names to reusable custom functions in the Excel Name Manager.
