No insight into Omega, but natural language interfaces to spreadsheets/databases exist.
Google Sheets has an implementation if you click the explore button in the bottom right hand corner.
I made a dummy spreadsheet with columns name & warehouse, then typed in "how many units of rose gold are there in la" and it got the query right. It even got "how many rose gold units are in los angeles" correct despite the spreadsheet never saying los angeles. But it's pretty easy to trip it up; if you make an item called "rose gold" and "rose gold ring" and ask it for rose gold, it assumes you want the exact match. If you ask it for items in la or sf, it will only give you a count for the first condition. If you ask it about California, it will get confused.
Still pretty impressive for a two column spreadsheet though IMO.
