3.6.1 Spreadsheet and their application 

A spreadsheet is generally designed to hold numerical data (Numbers) and short text strings (Letters). In a spreadsheet program, spaces that hold items of data are called spreadsheet cells. These can be renamed to better reflect the data they hold.

A single spreadsheet can be used as a worksheet to compile data for a purpose, or multiple sheets can be combined to create an entire workbook. The Column represents the letters across the top and for the row represents the number on the side. Each column or row cell references a value and is labeled according to its placement for example: A1,A2,A3…….F6.  

Spreadsheet skills allow students to organize, calculate, graph, and analyze data. It’s an essential skill and knowledge that you’ll need in the workplace and for your schoolwork. In addition, there are many daily tasks that we perform using spreadsheets, such as budgeting and goal-setting, calculating monthly expenses, helping students complete their class work, and many other activities.
