This is kinda like my hello world of Resolver One spreadsheets . In this spreadsheet I play around with a few things I have struggled with in Excel. String manipulation: the bread and butter of Bioinformatics analysis , formatting and column formulae involving regular expressions  and finally  conditional formatting . Although resolver one exists mainly for windows platforms , I do run  it with both Parallels on my mac and on Windows Vista computers i have access to . The spreadsheet is fairly snappy , but does slow down if you have a large number of cells ( when I had a 2000 sequences and 9 columns , it did take almost a minute to recalculate )

Resolver one I feel could potentially provide the user interface I always needed when interacting with data produced by my python programs. Since most data is very amenable to the spreadsheet setup , I see this being a very nifty tool in my informatics aresenal.

For now you can find my spreadsheet at this URL and watch the screencast at its full resolution on bioscreencast.com at this URL.
