  SQL and excel are pretty different tools. When used as a database, SQL is far superior to Excel. When used for calculation, SQL isn't even particularly good: - Depending on which implementation you're using, it has a pretty anemic set of built-in functions. - Building calculations on top of other calculations is trivially easy in Excel and basically not available in SQL. - SQL forces you into a tabular mindset - Excel is often used that way but it's more freeform and you can have individual calculations that don't map to a particular schema. - Excel has much better UX in terms of visually representing what you're building as you build it, where SQL doesn't have any real interactivity in terms of building queries. Your product does look cool, but I think it's very much addressing specifically the "Excel / CSV as database" use case and less the analysis side.
