Nice to see this, and thanks for open-sourcing it. We (by which I mostly mean Dan Barowy (http://people.cs.umass.edu/~dbarowy/) burned a considerable amount of time and energy on parsing Excel formulas for our CheckCell project (http://checkcell.org), but yours looks more general (for example, CheckCell doesn't care about precedence, so we didn't implement that).

Glad to hear, that's exactly why we open-sourced it.

We want to prevent everyone from doing the same work over and over again and provide a basis to work from if people so desire.
