SPREADSHEET
INTRODUCTION
Spreadsheet applications (sometimes referred to simply as spreadsheets) are computer programs that let you create and manipulate spreadsheets electronically. In a spreadsheet application, each value sits in a cell . You can define what type of data is in each cell and how different cell depend on one another. The relationships between cells are called formulas, and the names of the cells are called labels.
A table of values are arranged in rows and columns. Each value can have a predefined relationship to the other values. If you change one value, therefore you may need to change other value as well, or they will change automatically.
Once you have defined the cells and the formulas for linking them together, you can enter your data.You can then modify selected values to see how all the other value change accordingly.
- Excel 2010 is most popular spreadsheet program where you design your worksheet.
- Intersection point of Row and Column is called Cell.
