 Spreadsheet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Those spreadsheet programs can be used to tabulate many kinds of information, not just financial records, so the term "spreadsheet" has developed a more general meaning as information presented in a rectangular table, usually generated by a computer.
Just as the early programming languages were designed to generate spreadsheet printouts, programming techniques themselves have evolved to process tables (also known as spreadsheets or matrices) of data more efficiently in the computer itself.
Spreadsheets qualify as programming languages because all or most of them are Turing complete, except for the obvious memory/storage issue, which all real programming languages fail too; they can do loops via cyclic dependencies, and have more than enough logic.
