Text 1
A spreadsheet program is an application which is used to display data and to perform calculations on it. The word ’spreadsheet’ is also used to refer to the product created by this type of application--- for example a table of information in words and figures, either on the screen, as a file, or as a printout.
In Excel, one of the most popular spreadsheet programs, the files used are called workbooks. These consist of worksheets, or ‘sheets’, which are the electronic equivalent of large sheet of paper. The data is displayed in rows and columns, in a large table on the screen. The columns are usually labelled with letters of the alphabet (though sometimes with a number) at the top of the worksheet, and the rows are labelled with numbers on the left. The grey areas at the top of columns are called ‘column headings’, and the corresponding areas to the left of the rows are called “row headings”. Cells are the small boxes formed where rows and columns intersect. Every cell has an ‘address’ which contains the labels of the row and column which intersect to form it.41.
