Question 3

A. Computer program that can capture, display and manipulate data arranged in rows and
columns. Spreadsheet are one of the most popular tools available with personal
computers. Spreadsheet is generally designed to hold numerical data and short text
strings. In a spreadsheet program, spaces that hold items of data are called spreadsheet
cells. These can be renamed to better reflect the data they hold and can be cross
referenced through row numbers and column letters.
A single spreadsheet can be used as a worksheet to compile data for a purpose, or
multiple sheets can be combined to create an entire workbook. Each column or row cell
references a value and is labelled according to its placement (for example: A1, A2, A3).
Data can be exported as a CSV file and imported into other software or vice versa.
B.
i. Row: is a horizontal line of cells that runs across the document. Each row is identified by
a unique number along the left side of the spreadsheet, which allows users to easily
reference and manipulate specific rows of data.
ii. Column: are arranged from top to bottom, with each column containing a series of cells.
This vertical alignment helps to separate and organize different sets of data within the
spreadsheet. When scanning a spreadsheet, look for the vertical lines of cells to identify
columns.
iii. Active Cell: refers to the currently selected cell in a spreadsheet. It can be identified by a
bold (typically blue) outline that surrounds the cell. The standard way to reference the
location of an active cell is with a column/row combination, such as A2 (first column,
second row) or B5 (second column, fifth row).
C. To organize, store, and manipulate large amounts of data. Multiple worksheets can help
you group related information, perform calculations across sheets, and format data
