Introduction In this powerpoint I will be talking about
spreadsheets and why different businesses may
use them instead of manual sorting.

I am completing a work placement with a local

football club.

I have been asked to produce a spreadsheet to

manage information about the clubs season-
ticket holders.

The document must meet the managers needs.

What are spreadsheets Spreadsheets can be used for many things in
businesses and I will list some of the uses below:
used for?
Data storage:

Presentation:

Formulas:
Spreadsheet purposes Spreadsheets aren’t just used for one purpose,
they have many different applications in which
they can be helpful to a business.

Stock Control:

Learners homework tracking:

Spreadsheets The two spreadsheets that I have decided to include
are as follows:

I have included a spreadsheet that tracks and

calculates how many hours I have spent completing
homework throughout my time in college which shows
how I manage my time and also how encouraged I am
to complete work that is set.

The second spreadsheet is an analysis spreadsheet

which is all about how the spreadsheet can be used to
aid people in their work when using the software. It is
also about how many products can be sold and is
calculated through the help of formulas and other
algorithms.
What is the purpose of The purpose of the two spreadsheets are to organize
information and data to be easily read and understood
my two spreadsheets by anyone viewing it.

The homework recording spreadsheet is designed to

show people how many hours I have spent on different
pieces of homework so that they understand how
much time I put into my work and how I manage my
time with work given to me.

The analysis spreadsheet is designed to show how

data can be analyzed and formatted to visually show
information. This makes it easier for people to
understand what is happening whilst also making it
more visually appealing to people.
The purpose of Tools & There are many tools and techniques used in
spreadsheets.
Techniques of both Fill tool
spreadsheets Arithmetic functions

Date functions

Statistical functions
How are the Tools and Cell replication is a tool that can be copy information
and formatting from a certain cell into all other cells
Techniques used in each that are needed. It makes it much easier to change
multiple cells as you don’t need to change every cell
spreadsheet individually.

Formatting will help enhance your data in several

ways, formatting cells so they present data correctly
will give more value to your data. Using styles like
table styles can make your data stand out and helps
the reader to focus on important parts of the
worksheet.
Tools and techniques Page setup is a way of organizing your information
before you input it in the first place. It is the starting
used in a spreadsheet point of adding information to the spreadsheet and
allows for more sheets to be added and also allows
you to set up where your information will be placed in
the document.

User interfaces are the main part of all software

because that is the first thing that we see and also the
main area that is used. Without a user interface we
wouldn’t be able to navigate pages, save the
document, or navigate through the software as we do.

It included buttons, links, and any other media that is

shown on the screen.
Tools and techniques Charts are a good way of organizing information
because it makes it easy to read and understand. It
used in a spreadsheet can also be done automatically by the software if you
already have a set of data. It can create multiple types
of charts depending on what data you already have. It
is very effective because it requires no extra work by
the user and can all be done with a few clicks of a
button.

It also makes it look more presentable as it visually

shows information without the need of reading
through lots of statistics and not fully understanding
it.

The visual aspect is the main area as an image is

much better than a page full of text.
How spreadsheets Spreadsheets improve productivity in many ways and
some ways include:
improve productivity The ability to format multiple cells at once with the
same information, which makes long and tedious
tasks much easier because you don’t need to input the
same information into every cell.

Sharing of information over the internet:

How spreadsheets Spreadsheets can improve accuracy in many ways
and this could include:
improve accuracy
How spreadsheets The strength of of the homework tracking spreadsheet
is the fact that it isn’t too complicated which makes
improve usability the information easily readable and understandable
for anyone viewing it. This is very important because
you don’t want to have people look at it and think this
looks unprofessional.

The weakness of the spreadsheet is the fact that there

isn’t much information present on the document
which may make it look unfinished and a bit plain. This
could also show that not much work has been put into
making it feel finished.
Strengths and The strengths and weaknesses of both websites are
very important because they need to be well designed
weaknesses of both and also well organized.

spreadsheets. Nothing can be perfect and this is why we need to

critique the designs of both spreadsheets to find out
how they could be improved and how well they do
their job.
