SPREADSHEET- AN OVERVIEW

A spreadsheet is a document that stores data in a grid of horizontal rows


and vertical columns. Rows are typically labelled using numbers, while
columns are labelled with letters. Individual row/column locations, such as
C3 or B12, are referred to as cells. In a spreadsheet application, each value
sits in a cell. The relationships between cells are called formulas, and the
names of the cells are called labels.
