3. Spreadsheet in excel A spreadsheet is a program designed specifically for processing data in tabular form. These data may be numerical or textual, although most of the functions of a spreadsheet are for the former kind.

4. Uses of spreadsheet Spreadsheet software allows us to  create simple lists and tables of alphabetic or numerical data  create and manipulate simple (flat-file) databases  establish relationships between sets of numerical data  apply arithmetic, mathematical or statistical functions to numerical datasets  represent datasets in graphical or chart form  In the humanities, potential uses of spreadsheets include:  maintaining lists of short items you wish to sort, e.g. vocabulary, categories, instances of phenomena  studying quantifiable information, such as word-distributions across textual corpora; demographics; other sociological statistics; voting patterns; inventories; etc.  managing budgets, e.g. for grant applications and project expenses

5. Advantages of spreadsheet  A spreadsheet makes calculating numerical data much more efficient than adding machines. Unlike adding machines, an electronic worksheet allows you to change formulas and recalculate the results without reentering the values. In addition to the most common mathematical formulas, a spreadsheet provides users with the flexibility to create formulas that produce customized calculations. A spreadsheet also allows you to put cell names in formulas. Your calculations are automatically updated when you change data in cells that are part of the formula. Users can also make formulas that link one spreadsheet to values contained in another one. Formulas like these would allow you to create a quarterly financial statement using information from three separate spreadsheets for each month in the quarter.

6. Advantages of spreadsheet  A spreadsheet is a useful tool for sorting and analyzing data. A user enters labels in rows and values in columns, then highlights the information and use menu commands to reorder the sheet's contents. You can use labels to sort information, such as dates, names or prices in ascending or descending order. The data sorting function also allows users to sort on combinations of labels. Most spreadsheets even provide ways to extract information that meets specific criteria, such as all entries containing a particular zip code, and show it a separate area of your worksheet.
