    What is a Spreadsheet?
    A spreadsheet is two dimensional matrix of cells each of
    which can contain numerical or textual information. These
    arrays of numbers and text can be analyzed or manipulated
    using mathematical and logical operations.

    Spreadsheets are popular for two main reasons:


    • Spreadsheets present a simple environment for organizing
    and formatting data and for making mathematical
    calculations;
    • The numerical data in a typical spreadsheet can easily be
    converted and coupled into a graph or plot.

    Overview of Spreadsheet Programs
    GIVING COMMANDS TO EXCEL

    Excel is designed to take orders from you. You give


    these orders by issuing commands. You can give
    commands to Excel using the following methods:

     Menus
     Shortcut menus
     Toolbar buttons
     Shortcut key combinations

    7
    The Menu Bar  Key Board
    The menu bar gives access to different commands and functions.
    File Edit View Insert Format Tools Data Window Help

    The Toolbars
    Toolbars are very useful. They give direct access to commands
    without having to go through the menu items. Many tool bases
    are available (select Toolbars... under View menu).

    Excel Workbook 
    • An Excel file or workbook consists of any number of
    worksheets, and each worksheet is made up of cells.

    • A cell is a single addressable element in a worksheet


    that can hold a value, text, or a formula. A cell is
    identified by an address, which is made up of its
    column letter and row number. For example, cell D12
    is the cell in the fourth column and the twelfth row.

    • A group of cells is called a range. We designate a


    range address by specifying its upper-left cell address
    and its lower-right cell address, separated by a colon.

    11
    A cell can hold any of the following (three types) data:

    Values
    Values (numbers) represent a quantity of some type. Values that
    you enter into cells can be used in formulas or provide the basis
    for charts.

    Text
    You can insert text to serve as labels for values, headings for
    column or to provide instructions about the worksheet.

    Formula
    Excel lets you enter powerful formulas that use the values (or
    text) in cells to calculate a result. When you enter a formula into
    a cell, the formula’s result appears in the cell. If you change any
    of the values used by a formula, the formula recalculates and
    shows the new result. 12
    Objects

    An Excel worksheet also can hold charts, drawings, diagrams,


    pictures, buttons and other objects. These objects actually reside
    on the worksheet’s draw layer, which is an invisible layer on top
    of each worksheet.

    Analysis Tools
    The Analysis ToolPak is one of 15 Add-ins included with
    EXCEL that perform useful functions.
    An add-in is a feature that can be added into Excel when it is
    needed.
