Spreadsheet Day Beginnings
This is the 10th year that we’ve celebrated Spreadsheet Day, and thank you for helping to spread the word about this special day! You can read the details about how I started Spreadsheet Day, on the About page.
VisiCalc Release Date
Why is Spreadsheet Day celebrated on October 17th? That was the date, in 1979, when VisiCalc was first released. VisiCalc was the first spreadsheet for personal computers, and you can read more about VisiCalc in the Spreadsheet History section.
And, if you’re good at arithmetic, you’ve already figured out that this year is the 40th anniversary of the first VisiCalc ship date.
.See You on Spreadsheet Day
Be sure to tell all your friends, co-workers, and family members that Spreadsheet Day is on October 17th.
