A spreadsheet is a computer program that can capture,
display and manipulate data arranged in rows and columns.
Spreadsheets are one of the most popular tools available
with personal computers. A spreadsheet is generally
designed to hold numerical data and short text strings.
Here are a few terms that are commonly used in the world of spreadsheets:
WORKSHEET
These are the individual spreadsheets that make up the workbook. Every
worksheet is a collection of cells.
WORKBOOK
A collection of one or more worksheets in a single file is a workbook.
CELL FORMATTING
Within the spreadsheet, selected cells can be formatted to represent various
numeric values. For example, financial data can be given accounting formatting,
which will apply decimal places and commas to represent dollars and cents.
PIVOT TABLES
Using a pivot table, users can organize, group, total, average or sort data via the
toolbar.
FORMULAS
Under the formula bar, users can perform calculations on the contents of a cell
against the contents of another cell. For example, if a person were using the
spreadsheet to reconcile transactions, they could highlight all the cells that need
to be added up and insert a sum function.
