Freeware is software that is available for use at no monetary cost.

In other words, while freeware may be used without payment it is most often proprietary software, as usually modification, re-distribution or reverse-engineering without the author's permission is prohibited.

Two historic examples of freeware include Skype and Adobe Acrobat Reader.

There is no agreed set of rights or a license or an EULA which would define "freeware" unambiguously; every Freeware publisher defines their own rules for their Freeware.

For instance, redistribution of Freeware by third-parties is often permitted but there is a significant portion of Freeware which prohibits redistribution.

A spreadsheet is an interactive computer application for organization, analysis and storage of data in tabular form.

Spreadsheets are developed as computerized simulations of paper accounting worksheets.

The program operates on data entered in cells of a table.

Each cell may contain either numeric or text data, or the results of formulas that automatically calculate and display a value based on the contents of other cells.

A spreadsheet may also refer to one such electronic document.

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is an implementation of Microsoft's event-driven programming language Visual Basic 6, which was discontinued in 2008, and its associated integrated development environment (IDE).

Although the programming language is no longer supported or updated by Microsoft, VBA itself got upgraded in 2010 with the introduction of Visual Basic for Applications 7 in Microsoft Office applications.

Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet developed by Microsoft for Windows, macOS, Android and iOS.

It features calculation, graphing tools, pivot tables, and a macro programming language called Visual Basic for Applications.

It has been a very widely applied spreadsheet for these platforms, especially since version 5 in 1993, and it has replaced Lotus 1-2-3 as the industry standard for spreadsheets.

Excel forms part of Microsoft Office.

A macro (short for "macroinstruction", from Greek 'long') in computer science is a rule or pattern that specifies how a certain input sequence (often a sequence of characters) should be mapped to a replacement output sequence (also often a sequence of characters) according to a defined procedure.

The mapping process that instantiates (transforms) a macro use into a specific sequence is known as macro expansion.

A facility for writing macros may be provided as part of a software application or as a part of a programming language.

In the former case, macros are used to make tasks using the application less repetitive.

In the latter case, they are a tool that allows a programmer to enable code reuse or even to design domain-specific languages.
