Talk:Spreadsheet


Inconsistent date / implementation computer for BCL

In the article the paragraph "BATCH SPREADSHEET REPORT GENERATOR" states "In 1962 this concept of the spreadsheet, called BCL for Business Computer Language, was implemented on an IBM 1130". IBM 1130 was launched in 1965 ??? ( Wikipedia and IBM Documentation at Bitsavers ). Should it be an IBM 1620 ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 179.197.228.130 (talk) 18:43, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

GEIS FAL/TABOL

Hi @GermanJoe:. Published sources exist for GEIS FAL. Issues of the Ohio CPA Journal from 1975, and Computer Digest from 1970, Interface Age from 1982. I can see this on Google Books snippet view. Also Page 129 of Loren Dunton, "The financial planner: a new professional--yesterday-today-tomorrow", Longman Financial Services Pub., 1986. Hard to add cites though since I don't have access to full text of the publications to check. But anyone who has the time to track down copies of these could add those cites.

Addendum. Apparently Ohio CPA Journal is on ProQuest. I don't have access to ProQuest, but maybe some one else does. SJK (talk) 00:37, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bob Peterson in 1969-1970 was at the forefront creating the spreadsheet with IBM. His creation was used and implemented by Bob Peterson in many European countries. Karalclo (talk) 13:30, 5 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
