Excel is just a spreadsheet program. It's hardly unique; there's one in LibreOffice. They all descend from VisiCalc.
The idea of a spreadsheet was a revolutionary invention (Dan Bricklin); I believe he failed to patent it. As far as I can see, Excel was just a GUI rewrite of Multiplan, which was supposed to be Microsoft's Lotus-123 killer.
