DESCRIPTION:
Microsoft Excel is an
electronic spreadsheet program. You might have heard the terms
"spreadsheet" and "worksheet". People generally use them
interchangeably. To remain consistent with Microsoft and other
publishers, the term worksheet refers to the row-and-column matrix sheet on
which you work and the term spreadsheet refers to this type of computer
application. In addition, the term workbook will refer to the book of
pages that is the standard Excel document. The workbook can contain
worksheets, chart sheets, or macro modules. Students will work with
formulas and functions, create graphs, enhance the presentation of a
spreadsheet, and link a spreadsheet to a word document.
