| Also
known as a worksheet, a spreadsheet is a data file made up of rows and columns
that are used to sort data and allow a user to manipulate and
arrange data easily, commonly numerical
data. What makes a spreadsheet software
program most unique is its ability to calculate values using mathematical
formulas and the data in the cells.
A good example of how a spreadsheet may be used is creating an
overview of your bank's balance. Below is a basic example of what a Microsoft
Excel spreadsheet looks like.

A great free alternative spreadsheet program to
Microsoft Excel is
Calc, an OpenOffice spreadsheet
program and Lotus Symphony Spreadsheets.
