What would be a revolution in excel is if we could have probability distributions in cells. Right now all spreadsheets are fairly deterministic and we think that tells us something about the real world. Having an ability to make cells distributions (and then all resultant cells would be distributions too) would represent the uncertainty in the world better (and expose lots of interesting things like distributions of tails)
This has been my dream for decades. I even pestered the excel team when I worked at MS. Everyone thought it would be cool but not worth the effort and complexity.
