Using an Electronic Spreadsheet Electronic spreadsheets can help people manage numbers quickly and easily. Historians use spreadsheets to easily manipulate statistical data. You can use a spreadsheet any time a problem involves numbers that can be arranged in rows and columns. Click the Speaker button to listen to the audio again.

Using an Electronic Spreadsheet Learning the Skill A spreadsheet is an electronic worksheet that follows a basic design of rows and columns. Each column (vertical) is assigned a letter or number. Each row (horizontal) is assigned a number. Each point where a column and row intersect is called a cell. The cell’s position on the spreadsheet is labeled according to its column and row. Therefore, Column A, Row 1 is referred to as cell A 1; Column B, Row 2 is B 2, and so on. Spreadsheets use standard formulas to calculate numbers. You create a simple mathematical equation that uses these standard formulas, and the computer does the calculations for you. Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information.
