We recently build spreadsheet support in our app.

Our pain-points are almost entierly mundane:

* Macro-enabled Excel files, that can only be run on or by Windows.

* A endless log of Excel files that have errors. Most of these are files that are not compliant to the spec, but have been supported by various software over the years.

* User creating formats and overly complicated/brittle spreadsheet.

A VBA interpreter in WASM would be great!
