Spreadsheet

A spreadsheet is a document that stores data in a grid of rows and columns. It allows for the entry, organization, and analysis of numeric data through calculations and formulas. The first desktop spreadsheet, VisiCalc, was published in the late 1970s. Common spreadsheet programs today include Microsoft Excel, Apple Numbers, and Google Sheets. Spreadsheets are useful for tasks like accounting, banking, science, and other fields where numbers are analyzed.

SPREADSHEET

1. Accounting:
Tabular worksheet with numbered rows
and columns for ordered analysis and
presentation of financial (numeric) data.

2. Computing:
Software that allows entry of numeric data in rows and
columns to facilitate its analysis and manipulation with
mathematical formulas, and presentation
as charts and graphs.
Visicalc was the first desktop computer
spreadsheet, published in late 1970s to run on Apple II.



A spreadsheet application is a
computer program such as Excel,
OpenOffice Calc, or Google Docs
Spreadsheets.
It has a number of built in features
and tools, such as functions,
formulas, charts, and data analysis
tools that make it easier to work
with large amounts of data.

The basic storage unit for a spreadsheet file is a
table.
In a table, the data is arranged
in rows and columns to make it easier to store,
organize, and analyze the information.
In Excel an individual spreadsheet file is referred to
as a workbook.
A term related to this is worksheet, which, in Excel,
refers to a single page or sheet in a workbook. By
default, Excel has three worksheets per workbook.
So, to put it all together, a spreadsheet program,
such as Excel, is used to create workbook files that
contain one or more worksheets containing data.

*A spreadsheet is a document that stores data
in a grid of horizontal rows and vertical columns.
Rows are typically labeled using numbers (1, 2,
3, etc.), while columns are labeled with letters
(A, B, C, etc). Individual row/column locations,
such as C3 or B12, are referred to as cells. Each
cell can each store a unique instance of data. By
entering data into a spreadsheet, information
can be stored in a more structured way than
using plain text The row/column structure also
allows the data to be analyzed using formulas
and calculations.

. For example, each row of a spreadsheet may
store information about a person who has an
account with a certain company. Each column
may store a different aspect of the person's
information, such as the first name, last name,
address, phone number, favorite food, etc. The
spreadsheet program can analyze this data by
counting the number of people who live in a
certain zip code, listing all the people who's
favorite food is fried veal, or performing other
calcuations. In this way, a spreadsheet is
similar to a database
However, spreadsheets are more streamlined than
databases and are especially useful for processing
numbers. This is why spreadsheets are commonly
used in scientific and financial applications. For
example, a spreadsheet may store bank account data,
including balance and interest information. A column
that stores the account balances of several clients can
easily be summed to produce the total value of all the
clients' balances. These amounts can be multiplied by
the interest rate from another cell to see what the
value of the accounts will be in a year. Once the
formula has been created, modifying the value of just
the interest rate cell will also change the projected
value of all the accounts.
The most commonly used
spreadsheet application
is Microsoft Excel, but several
other spreadsheet programs
are available including IBM
Lotus 1-2-3 for Windows and
AppleWorks and Numbers for
Mac OS X.
