Is it possible to turn an Excel spreadsheet into a piece of Software good enough to sell?

I know what I'm asking could be down to the product, but in terms of how complicated it would be to do (code-wise) and the quality of the finished product/software. Considering it would be a simple program consisting of entering text and values, would I be able to do this myself providing I learnt the code or would it be something best outsourced?

About two years ago I made a template for myself in Excel to make my life easier, since then it has changed a number of times as I have perfected it and I have even gone as far as making a quick guide of how to use it (for a friend).

It's a simple spreadsheet, with a couple of tabs, a couple of simple equations and a macro, so pretty basic stuff. Although there are other apps out there that I'm aware of and have tried, they have their disadvantages, and I always choose to use my own Excel spreadsheet and method. I'm thinking that perhaps others would benefit from this and I could perhaps make something of it as I have ideas for improvement.

What do you think guys?
