If you're just looking to enter tabular data, the keyboard shortcuts
CTRL-Enter and CTRL-, (CTRL-Comma) may be helpful.

There was a discussion not too long ago about a "hidden" experimental
feature like this:

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.soft-sys.math.mathematica/browse_thread/thread/c79ddc62ea73ac1d/7c2e0c17e53cedea

(It doesn't seem to be complete and ready for general use yet. For
example, it doesn't support data input.)

Finally, there is the Excel Link, which I've never used, so can't
comment on it:

At the 2009 Users Conference (and on the Wolfram Blog site), Stephen
Wolfram mentioned a new SpreadsheetView dynamic widget, probably for
the next release.

In the meantime, there is an undocumented TableView function in
Version 7, but do not rely on it. It is incompletely implemented and
buggy, which is probably why it is undocumented. Finally, there is
the third party ExcelLink package, which allows interaction between
Excel and Mathematica.

At this point is probably not worthwhile to develop one -- except for
short-run use -- because:

(1) Mathematica 7 already includes a TableView function that could
provide the basis for such functionality;

(2) As I seem to recall, in his videocast talk to the International
Mathematica User Conference 2009, Stephen Wolfram indicated that
spreadsheet functionality was on the way.

* Priced at $249 (does that include Excel?)

* Windows only (at least, only Windows version listed)

* Only connects to one version of Excel (at least only one version
listed -- will upgrades for subsequent versions of Excel be supplied
free?)

* Seems to intended primarily to add Mathematica capabilities to Excel,
rather than the reverse"

"Mathematica Link for Excel is an essential tool for finance
professionals, business professionals, life scientists, engineers,
physical scientists, social scientists, educators, and others who want
to use Excel and need to expand its computational and graphical
capabilities."

* Presumably both Excel and Mathematica must be running (or accessible)
to use it.

I have called it SpreadsheetLike. What is it? It is a data viewer, editor,
navigator and manipulator which can also be used for sharing data with other
user-defined Mathematica applications. It is very efficient handling large
datasets: 1,000,000 rows by 10 columns? Not a problem at all.

Once data is inside the SpreadsheetLike GUI it can be manipulated by
cropping, sorting, hiding columns, filtering, and sampling. The resulting
dataset can be saved in a new .sls (SpreassheetLike Sheet) file which can be
easily accessed later by means of the Open option in the File menu. It has
many other nice features like printing data subsets and cloning itself but I
think that one of its best characteristics is that it can share data with
other Mathematica applications in real-time.

I'll soon create a screencast and post a message here when ready. While
that happens there is additional information with screenshots available in
http://www.prontoanalytics.com/products/spreadlike/overview.htm. This
documentation is not exhaustive but is good enough to show what it is about.
SpreadshseetLike is not a spreadsheet but it provides a Spreasheet-Like user
experience in many ways.

Subject: Simple Spreadsheet within Mathematica?

Has anyone developed a simple spreadsheet application that works within
Mathematica? It would be a useful tool.





Thanks
