Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet for analysis and development of tools that provides the
tools necessary to manage critical business data and make the most of your
information. Excel gives you the tools to easily access, process, analyze, share and
display the information you need to run your business. Excel can be used to create
spreadsheets and wages, generating invoices, tracking actions and help complete the
list of inventory control and tracking your business income and expenses.

exposes potential errors affecting the precision of May Error checking labels to alert you

spreadsheets (fonts, character attributes and appearance of cells). XLS file format is
used by the extension of the spreadsheet application Microsoft Excel. It also introduced
intelligent cell recomputation, where only cells dependent on cell changes are updated.

Excel offers many options for the user interface in the first electronic spreadsheet,
however, remains essentially the same as in the spreadsheet, VisiCalc, the program
shows the cells arranged in rows and columns, and each cell contains a data or relative
or absolute references to other cells.

VBA which stands for Visual Basic for Application are bundled with Microsoft Excel, a
programming language based on Visual Basic, which adds the ability to automate tasks
in Excel and to provide user-defined functions (UDF) for use in sheet calculation at
work. VBA is a plus to the letter, in later versions, including an integrated development
environment (IDE). May cause burns of the VBA macro code to repeat the actions of the
user, allowing the automation of simple tasks. VBA allows you to create forms and
controls on the worksheet to contact the user. Supports the use of language (but not
creation) of the ActiveX (COM) DLL, add support later versions of the class of modules
using techniques of object-oriented programming.

Characteristics of support that allows you to always know which version, and explains
how to perform a function in this version.

Programming with Excel

Excel offers users the ability to write code using the programming language Visual
Basic for Applications (VBA). Programmers write code using an editor of view,
regardless of the spreadsheet. Handling the entries in the spreadsheet can be
controlled using objects. With this code, a function or a subroutine that can be installed
on a base or Fortran-like language can be executed by the proper spreadsheet, and
results of the written code that is displayed instantly on their calculations or charts
(graphs). The spreadsheet becomes an interface or window with the code, which
facilitates interaction with the code and what is calculated. VBA also supports basic
forms integrated into the GUI-based programming of the spreadsheet so that all
applications based on the shape May be written in Excel.

The most common and easy way to generate code is to use the macro recorder VBA
code that writes the actions that the user with the mouse / keyboard. Some features,
such as loop functions and show their properties can not be recorded, but must be
introduced into the VBA module directly by the programmer. Macros can be activated by
a menu button using the advanced users and users can use to create an interactive
program.

You can get Excel to use multiple ways in your business. For example in the use of
production time. Including the simple formulas of the time sheet, the number of hours
worked per day or per week can be calculated and compared with an employee’s
contract hours. Using similar techniques of working hours, holidays and the lack of
monitoring of planning can also be created easily.

You can use Excel to generate their invoices. You can create an Excel template that
includes your name and company logo and the date automatically generated. Using the
formulas available in Excel can automatically perform the calculations of the amount of
time price.

market. Microsoft PowerPoint has caught the imagination of millions of people around
the world. It has never been easier to do so, as well as presentations at meetings,
parties or seminars. Added to this, features such as animation styles, images and
PowerPoint templates that provide suites. You can use any template, add pictures to
animation and assign to the text to make the presentation is attractive. All these
features, but very charming and attractive because of the overheads on space and
processing time on the computer. This is where you could understand that PowerPoint

text and HTML extensions, respectively). This allows using only the outline of the text of
