Alternatively referred to as a worksheet, a spreadsheet is a file that consists of rows and columns to help sort data, arrange data easily, and calculate numerical data. What makes a spreadsheet software program unique is its ability to calculate values using mathematical formulas by applying them to the data in cells. A good example of how a spreadsheet may be utilised is by creating an overview of your bank balance. Excel allows you to store, organise, and analyse information quickly and efficiently.
