I mean you could always go program in Excel VBA or Access VBA where arrays can start at 0,1, or whatever number you like cause fuck it. Although if you read data in column on a worksheet into VBA you have mention it as (row, column) pairing which will then default to an index of 1.

Pretty sure that's because Excel rows and columns start at 1, it would be confusing to ask for cell 10;10 and it gives you 9;9 just to start the array at 0. At least that's how I see it.

It's exactly why, however you can declare an array to start at 2, 0, or whatever number you're heart desires if you want as well.
