Spreadsheet techniques commonly used in data bank systems can also be applied to create simple scientific codes based on macros. The author develops such a spreadsheet program for solving a simple spatially one-dimensional, parabolic initial-boundary value problem discretized by means of the Crank-Nicolson method in time and finite differences in space. He states that this programming technique is very simple and convenient, especially for educational purposes because it is very easy to incorporate graphical facilities and to play with the data. The code presented and discussed in detail in the paper was run on a PC using Lotus 123 version 3.4 under DOS.
