Spreadsheet


A Spreadsheet is a file. It is made of rows and columns. These consist of sorting data, arranging data easily and calculating, using mathematical formulas.
Also to help sorting the data, there are cells (spaces),  that have the function of holding items of data. Each cell is named, according to its placement (for example, E5, E6, E7...).


How do you calculate values?
You start with an equal sign (=) and then entering the name of one of the cells, from which you want the data. Then you can add a plus(+), minus (-), a divided by (/) or a multiplication sign(*), depending on what you want to calculate. After that, you put the second name of another cell. Then you click enter.


You can also add charts, that represents data in form of a diagram or a graph. There can be different kinds of graphs like: column charts, aline charts or pie charts. Charts are used to understand a large quantity of data and the relations between them.
