Abstract
Spreadsheets are a successful example of an end-user programming language, and the spreadsheet paradigm shares several characteristics like composition, selection, and repetition with programming languages. There are compelling reasons that spreadsheets are code. For most programming languages, developers are supported by powerful IDEs. However, spreadsheets are missing such an IDE. In our current work we are researching how spreadsheet users could be supported by an IDE for spreadsheets and what kind of functionality should be included? As a preliminary result of this research, we introduce in this showpiece: Polaris, an excel Add-in that provides users with context-aware navigation in spreadsheets.
