    Microsoft Excel is an electronic spreadsheet program used to store, organize, and manipulate data in a grid of rows and columns. Each intersection of a row and column is called a cell, which can contain numbers, text, or formulas. Formulas allow calculations using data from other cells and include built-in functions for common tasks. Excel is often used for financial tasks like summing values, calculating profits/losses, and modeling loan repayments. It can also graph data, sort/filter information, and incorporate analyzed data into presentations or reports.

    Question: What is Microsoft Excel and When Would I Use it?

    Answer:
    Excel is an Electronic Spreadsheet Program
    Excel is an electronic spreadsheet program that can be used for storing,
    organizing and manipulating data.
    When you look at the Excel screen (refer to the example on this page)
    you see a rectangular table or grid of rows and columns. The horizontal
    rows are identified by numbers (1,2,3) and the vertical columns with
    letters of the alphabet (A,B,C). For columns beyond 26, columns are
    identified by two or more letters such as AA, AB, AC.

    The intersection point between a column and a row is a small
    rectangular box known as acell. 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, AA345.

    Data Types, Formulas, and Functions


    The types of data that a cell can hold include numbers, text or formulas.
    Just as in math class, formulas are used for calculations usually
    involving data contained in other cells. Excel and other electronic
    spreadsheets include a number of built in formulas used for common
    tasks known asfunctions.
    Excel and Financial Data
    Spreadsheets are often used to store financial data. Formulas and
    functions that are used on this type of data include:

     Performing basic mathematical operations such as summing columns


    and rows of figures.
     Finding values such as profit or loss.
     Calculating repayment plans for loans or mortgages.
     Finding the average, maximum, or minimum values in a specified
    range of data.

    Excel's Other Uses
    Other common operations that Excel can be used for include:

     graphing or charting data to assist users in identifying data trends.


     sorting and filtering data to find specific information.
    The information garnered in a spreadsheet can easily be incorporated
    into electronic presentations, web pages, or printed off in report form.
