Spreadsheets have been used for hundreds of years and it is difficult to determine when someone first thought of this form for mathematical calculation.
In 1961 the idea of computerising this method of calculation was outlined in a paper by Richard Mattessich. Whether he actually thought of it first, or not, is impossible to tell.
In the late 60's / early 70's the concept was converted/developed into computer applications, and there are various contenders for the prize of being the first to invent this computerised model/format.
