ANALYZING INFORMATION USING

ELECTRONIC SPREADSHEET
LESSON 3
OBJECTIVES:
• Define an electronic spreadsheet;
• Enumerate the basic tools and functions of a
spreadsheet;
• Explain the basic formula in the spreadsheet; and
• Perform calculations on numerical data using the
spreadsheet.
SPREADSHEET

• IS A DOCUMENT USED FOR ORGANIZING,

ANALYZING, AND CALCULATING
INFORMATION IN A TABLE.
ELECTRONIC SPREADSHEET

• A SPREADSHEET THAT NO LONGER USES GRAPH

PAPER, PENCIL, AND CALCULATOR TO COMPUTE
NUMERIC INFORMATION.

• IS AN ELECTRONIC TOOL USED FOR COMPUTING

LARGE QUANTITIES OF NUMBERS.
TWO BASIC TOOLS AND FUNCTIONS OF A
SPREADSHEET

• HOME

• TABLES
HOME • Basic formatting tools in
spreadsheet such as font
size, style, alignment, etc.

• It is important that the

data you are working on
is in the same format.
TABLES
• Related data in a cell or
series of cells.
• Formatting Rows and
Columns
Basic Formulas in Spreadsheet

• Are used to • Addition ( + )

perform • Subtraction ( - )
calculations on
values entered
in your
spreadsheet.
A basic excel formula starts with the equal
sign (=) rather than ending with it

Example :
= 3 + 2 rather than 3 + 2 =
Different Signs of Computation
Sign Computation
= For summation

+ For addition

- For subtraction

/ For division

* Or multiplication

( ) For separating formulas
