I was trying to see if the functions needed to hunt for variables would all work. So far yes. You are able to import arbitrary subsets of a Postgres database into the spreadsheet. I found excel has a means to convert randomly sampled data to regular sampled data by interpolation. There is also an Fourier Transform built into Excel.
Scatter plots are also easy to make in Excel.
This was really an exercise to see if Microsoft products can be made to work with a Postgres Server running on Linux. It seems that it does work.
