Spreadsheet Software – allows users to organize data in rows an columns and perform calculations on the data.
These rows and columns collectively are called Worksheet.

Examples of Spreadsheet Software

1. LibreOffice Calc
2. OpenOffice.org Calc
3. Google sheets
4. Apple iWork Numbers
5. Kingsoft Office Spreadsheets
6. Star Office Calc
7. Microsoft Excel (Windows Logo + R then type “excel” then enter)

Key Terms
Row – horizontal line of entries in a table
Column – vertical line of entries in a table
Cell - the place where information is held in a spreadsheet
Active Cell – the selected cell
Column Heading – the box at the top of each column containing a letter
Row Heading – the row number
Cell Reference – the cell address of the cell usually combine letter and number (ex. A1, B4, C2)
Merge – combining or joining two or more cells
Formula – is an expression which calculates the value of a cell
Functions – are predefined formulas and are already available in Excel
Formula Bar – the bar that displays the contents of a cell

FUNCTIONS
• =SUM(x, y) or =SUM(range) – returns the sum of x and y (all the numbers within the range)
• = PRODUCT(x, y) – returns the product of x and y
• =QOUTIENT(x, y) – returns the quotient of x divided by y
• =x-y – returns the difference of x subtracted by y
• =ABS(x) – returns the absolute value of x
• =AVERAGE(x, y) - returns the average of x and y
• =CONCATENATE(x, y) - joins x and y
• =IF(Condition, x, y) – returns x if the condition is true, else it returns y
• =ISEVEN(x) – returns true if x is an even number
• =ISODD(X) – returns true if x is an odd number
• =COUNT(range) – counts the number of cell containing a number within a range
• =COUNTIF(range, criteria) - count the number of cell that fits with the criteria within the range
• =ISNUMBER(x) – returns true if x is a number
• =ISTEXT(x) - returns true if x is text
• = LEN(x) – returns the length of characters in x
• PROPER(x) - returns the proper casing of x
• =LEFT(x, y) – returns the characters of x specified by y (from left)
• =RIGHT(x, y) – returns the characters of x specified by y (from the right)
• =PI() - returns the value of pi
• =MIN(x, y) - returns the smallest number between x and y • =UPPER(x) – returns in all capital form
• =MAX(x, y) – returns the largest number within the range • =LOWER(x) – returns x in non-capital form
• =POWER(x, y) - returns the value of x raised to the power of y • =TODAY() -returns the current date
• =ROUND(x, y) – rounds x to a specified number of digits (y) • =NOW() – returns the current date and time
• =COLUMN(x) – returns the column number of x
• =ROW(x) - returns the row number of x
• =SQRT(x) – returns the square root of x
• =TRIM(x) removes extra spaces in x
1. Accounting Number Format - a number format that is used for accounting
2. Orientation – the angle at which a text is displayed
3. Count – a function to count the cells with content in a range
4. Sum –used to compute for the summarization of the number of a range
5. Average – to compute for the average of a number of a range
6. COUNTIF - to count the cells with a specified content within a range
7. SUMIF – to compute for the summarization of a range if a certain condition is met
8. AVERAGEIF – to compute for the average of a range if a certain condition is met
9. Range – the range of cells where you want to look for the criteria
10. Criteria – a value or label that determines if a cell is part of a range to be averaged
11. Average Range – the actual range of cells that will be averaged, if omitted, the range will be used instead
