Microsoft is working on BitCoin format support in Excel. When this feature becomes available, users can use Excel to track, calculate and analyze Bitcoin data using native Bitcoin number formatting options. This new feature will be first rolled out to Excel 2016 for Windows, Excel Online, Excel Mobile for Windows and Excel Mobile for Android. This feature is expected to be available in the first half of 2017, both cointelegraph and MSPowerUser talked about this. https://mspoweruser.com/bitcoin-currency-format-support-coming-soon-microsoft-excel-desktop-mobile/ |

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in
Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it
will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

Interesting for sure ! It still needs to be clearer what will be the Bitcoin data, but I guess that if they put the the Bitcoin symbol (BTC) beside the dollar ($) sign, that'll be great passive advertisement.

The only part that's fun about gambling is when you win. Other than that, people might say the challenge is interesting, and most people enjoy the challenge, but the name of the game is win.

I'm wondering how Its going to be as well , I mean bitcoin could be decimal , I'm not sure even sure why there are going to add it as something else specific to bitcoin only. If its good , hopefully they add it to both their Word and Access as well. |

As I was talking already 2017 year is going to be the best year in all bitcoin's history. Now more and more big firms and corporations will admit bitcoin as technology and/or as money. And such giant as Microsoft will spread bitcoin even faster.

For Microsoft to implement the bitcoin symbol into the spreadsheet that is a wonderful moment for the history. They should have study for a long time before to consider to add this feature, with the increase of popularity of the currency lately, is natural to add it  In 2017 it would be possible for me to do my bitcoin compatibility in Excel |

I still don't understand how it's going to work. What's the need of it? Well, I'm just a user of Bitcoin and not the technical part of it. I hope I can understand it in the future.

If its good , hopefully they add it to both their Word and Access as well. it is just a formating option, for example when you click on the currency sign it sets a specific formatting to the number (in this case the system's currency sign + ',' for thousands + 2 decimal) the same thing will be set for bitcoin meaning (bitcoin sign + ',' for thousands + 8 decimal) and i hope they don't go crazy with ISO symbol XBT instead of BTC i hate that  p.s. the best thing about this news is that Microsoft is calling bitcoin a currency |

I don't know about what affect this will have on the price if any at all but it can only be a good thing. Microsoft wouldn't bother if they didn't think bitcoin was going to continue developing & gaining more adoption.

Woah it feels so great to hear these kinds of news, especially when those big companies like Microsoft starting to realise the important and potential of bitcoin and accept it. It looks like that bitcoin is making huge changes in people's view of point, at least for those CEOs and this will surely stimulate the spirit of using cryptocurrencies like bitcoin.

Microsoft excel getting the bitcoin symbol looks like a part of bitcoin acceptance by the big corporate. This initiation help more others to start using bitcoin symbol into their applications, which helps in the spreading of bitcoin. I believe the first comer will benefit high, likewise Microsoft surely benefits high with bitcoin in the falling years.
