I see 48 months of revenue in A1:A48 with mild seasonality.
Fitting an ARIMA(2,1,1) model in a Python cell and writing the
forecast to B49:B54.

  ✓ B49:B54   Sandboxed Python in cells
  ✓ Forecast  $284k → $312k   (+10% over Q3)

01 / The Grid

The Grid you know.

Cells, formulas, ranges, charts. Expanse opens your .xlsx and behaves exactly like the spreadsheet you already use: 345 Excel functions, round-trip fidelity, nothing to relearn.

02 / The Agent

The Agent you didn't.

Ask in plain language ("forecast Q3", "find duplicates in column B") and the Agent writes the formula into cells you can read, edit, and audit. It works the grid for you, never around you.

03 / The Engine

An engine built for scale.

Under every cell: Excel formulas, sandboxed Python, SQL at terabyte scale, and AI, all in one incremental dependency graph. Built for billions of rows, on your laptop or your cloud.

03 / The Engine

An engine built for scale.

Under every cell: Excel formulas, sandboxed Python, SQL at terabyte scale, and AI, all in one incremental dependency graph. Built for billions of rows, on your laptop or your cloud.

More than a grid.

An AI agent that writes your formulas, and four computation engines wired into every cell.

Agents

Tell the Agent what you want in plain language, and it writes the formula into cells you can read, edit, and audit yourself.

Workflows

One workbook, four ways to compute: Excel formulas, Python, SQL, and AI, all wired into a single dependency graph.

Build your own financial model.

Replaces

Microsoft ExcelGoogle SheetsLibreOffice Calc

Ask the Agent for what you want, or write the formula yourself if you'd rather. Excel for the model your CFO can read. Python for the analysis your data scientist already wrote. SQL for the warehouse you can't fit in memory. AI for "I'll know it when I see it."

Stop bouncing between tools. Stop exporting CSVs back and forth. One workbook, one dependency graph, four ways to express what comes next.

Lookups that stay fast.

VLOOKUP, MATCH, INDEX/MATCH: the workhorses of every real workbook, and the slowest functions in the language. Every recalc re-walks the entire searched column, for every formula that points at it. K formulas times N rows. K × N per recalc, growing every time the data grows or another formula gets added.

Expanse indexes each column once and shares the index across every lookup that searches it. Edit a cell elsewhere in the workbook? Your million-row MATCH stays warm. Edit a cell inside the column? The index rebuilds once, not once per formula. The total work drops from K × N to N + K.

The result: sub-millisecond lookups on workbooks where linear-scan engines slow to a crawl.
