You may not even realize it, but your typical spreadsheet application is actually a very small fishbowl. Sure, you're sitting there in your little plastic castle, happily inputting your data into rows and columns, but if you ever wanted to really break out of the box and perform hardcore data manipulation and calculation, you're going to bump into a wall faster than you might think.
Resolver One is a brilliant application that combines the power of the Python programming language with the ease and simplicity of a spreadsheet. You start using Resolver One as you would any other spreadsheet application, quickly realizing that, as you implement your formulae within each cell, Resolver One is dynamically generating Python code that gives you the results you need. You can study the Python code and tweak it to make it do what you need it to do - something that plain vanilla spreadsheets simply can't do. Even better, you can work with the Python code that Resolver One produces, or you can import your own external Python components. The more you work with Resolver One, the more you'll learn about Python.
Before you know it, you'll be using Resolver One to not only manipulate your traditional spreadsheet values of numbers, text, and dates, but also .NET types, decimals, and complex numbers. Consult third party Python and .NET component libraries, and plug them directly into your formulae to perform cunning feats of calculation that put Excel spreadsheets to shame. Craft worksheets that behave like databases. Conjure reusable spreadsheets that can be run on demand. You can even call into your spreadsheets from standalone executable Python programs!
Take your first step into a larger world. Import your existing Microsoft Excel spreadsheets into Resolver One, and start unleashing the true power of Python!
Please note: Today's promotion also includes the option to buy The Resolver One Web Server! The Resolver One Web Server allows you to turn your spreadsheets into web applications with just a few clicks. It's easy to install, and doesn't interfere with other server software running on your system. You can run it on your own machine, or install it on any Windows-based server.
Using it is simple: just specify which of the cells in your spreadsheet should be editable online, then use the built-in web server to publish the saved spreadsheet! Other people can use their web browsers to view their own copies of the sheet without needing to run it on their own machines.
Want to update the sheet? Just change it in one place and everyone gets the latest version the next time they hit the "Refresh" button. Also, you don't have to worry about users accidentally overwriting data - interactions happen in a sandboxed environment. Users can only change web-editable cells, and they can't change the original document in any way.

- “Your product has easily convinced me during my evaluation and I'm always happy to recommend products I'm personally impressed with... your clever new approach to spreadsheets is quite amazing!”- Steffen Opel, Freelancer
- “I have used Resolver One multiple times now for completing complex tasks or prototyping an application before going forward with full development. It is a key member of my current Information Technology toolkit.”- Greg Bray, IT Manager
- “Thank you guys for this very helpful software. Resolver One integrated my simulation engine and reporting tools seamlessly.”- Taehoon Kim
- “My professor recommended that I look into Resolver One. I started writing some simple code in Resolver One and within hours I was able to carry out calculations that were almost impossible with any other spreadsheet. I love the fact that I can program my spreadsheet with a language that makes sense to me (Python) and call all different sorts of external scientific libraries from within Resolver One. Another advantage of Resolver One is that all the .Net windows form classes are accessible to the code through IronPython and .Net framework therefore we can actually build consistent GUIs in Python.I am very excited about this product and I would like to see how people integrate other scientific tools with Resolver One and solve challenging problems in engineering and management. ”- Siamak Faridani
- “Building the application for my client, and learning enough Resolver One, took me less than a week. Not too bad, for an Excel illiterate! I find the uncomplicated logistics very attractive: No need for a time consuming installation of MS Office, and no license costs for the client's Player license. I'm eagerly looking forward to the next version of Resolver One.”- Karl Johan Kleist, IT Consultant
- “If you are using Python to wrangle business data, Resolver OneT will make sense immediately.”- Jon Udell, Technical Evangelist, Microsoft
- “In the Financial Risk department, in order to rapidly respond to new needs, we have to write a number of tools ourselves, to access different sources of information and manipulate them, all without having to go to our IT department. We use Excel and VBA, but we prefer Python for its combination of simplicity and power. We were looking to better link spreadsheets with Python programming, and Resolver One seemed to be the most elegant solution because it was based on Python but also gave us compatibility with our IT team's architectural choice of Microsoft .NET.We had been looking at using IronPython for a year but were hesitant to take the first step until we saw the elegant and secure environment provided by Resolver One. I signed up as a beta user as soon as I learned of its existence. Its original conception is intellectually elegant and even though we so far use only a fraction of its capabilities, we have already witnessed a significant increase in the speed at which we deploy new control tools.”- Louis Jaouan, Director of Financial Risk at Credit Cooperatif
