What is Spreadsheet?
• An electronic document in
which data is arranged in the
rows and columns of a grid
and can be manipulated and
used in calculations.
• Spreadsheets are also known
as workbooks.
• Each workbook is made up of
one or more sheet
• Worksheet contains rows and
columns, which create cells
when they intersect.
Columns are identified
using letters and rows
are identified using
number

E.g: The first cell in a


spreadsheet is referred
to as A1 because its in
column A and row 1. The
cell name is known as
cell reference
Name Box
Active Cell
• The active cell in a
worksheet is the cell that
has been selected by a
user.
• In the e.g below, Cell B4 is
the active cell and is
highlighted by a green box
• The name box in the top
left shows B4, because this
is the cell reference of the
active cell
Ranges
Data Type – Number and TEXT
• Spreadsheet cells can contain data stored as number data or text
data.
• In spreadsheets, number data is defined as data on which you can
perform calculations.
• Text data is defined as data on which you cannot perform
calculations
• Telephone number is stored as text because you will never need
to add together two telephone numbers.
• Telephone numbers also start with a 0, which the spreadsheet
would omit if the data was stored as numeric data
Formatting
• Cells can be formatted to display numeric data values in different ways.
