1 GETTING TO KNOW EXCEL
A spreadsheet is generally known as a table of information. It can be use either for doing calculations
or as the starting point for creating graphs, charts and many more. Spreadsheets consist of ‘cell’
which are arranged neatly in numerous rows and columns. The rows are numbered whereas the
column is given a letter that starts according to the alphabetical order.
One of the many advantages of a spreadsheet is that it can be set up so that a numerical change
in one cell will instantly cause changes to other cells. In addition, calculations can also be easily done
using various, built in formulas and cell reference.
