I think the best we have at the moment debugger view; in other words a snapshot of the state of the system. Maybe with a dashboard you can see some progression over time ?

(I somehow though of the videogame Factorio and of that thing called Labview, but I cannot form a coherent thought about it)

Yes, Excel allows you to view the entire spreadsheet as formulas in cells (which may simply be values).

It's very, very rarely useful.

I was thinking not just showing the formulas in cells, but have the formulas assembled as a piece of code, referring to variables.

I have always had vague ideas about this with pandas but don't have the aptitude or motivation to take on a project of that size.

I hate Microsoft but love Excel. I was hoping python in excel would be this but I don't think it quite is.
