So Excel is a pure functional language?

  Yep. Additionally, there are no user-defined functions, and the limit on the length of the "code" that makes up a cell is low enough that you occasionally bump into it when trying to "program" in Excel. Excel also has a tendency to get crashy when you have a very complex cell dependency tree...

  I wouldn't call it functional. It's dataflow programming : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dataflow_programming http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dataflow_programming
