Microsoft Excel

Microsoft Excel is software that lets you create tables, and calculate and analyze data. This type
of software is called spreadsheet software. Microsoft Excel lets you create tables that
automatically calculate the totals of numerical values you input, print out tables in neat layouts,
and create simple graphs. Microsoft Excel is a part of "Microsoft Office", a suite of products
combining several types of software for creating documents, spreadsheets, and presentations,
and for managing e-mail.

When you look at the Microsoft Excel window, you will see a rectangular table or grid of rows and
columns. The horizontal rows are identified by numbers (1,2,3... and so on) and the vertical
columns with letters of the alphabet (A,B,C... and so on).

The intersection point between a column and a row is a small rectangular box known as a cell. A
cell is the basic unit for storing data in the spreadsheet. Because an Excel spreadsheet contains
thousands of these cells, each is given a cell reference or address to identify it. The cell reference
is a combination of the column letter and the row number such as A3, B6, C1, D7 and so on.
