Overview of Spreadsheets
ICT II
 A grid of rows and columns in which you
enter text, numbers, and the results of
calculations; the main purpose of a
spreadsheet is to solve problems that
involve numbers
 A grid is a pattern of regularly spaced horizontal
and vertical lines
Horizontal
Vertical
 Add these numbers:
2
5
3
The answer is 10.
That was easy!
 Add the following amounts of
money:
$25.00
$19.25
$77.77
$94.89
The answer is $216.91.
This one is a bit more
difficult, but you can still
do it easily!
 Solve the following equation:
A1 + A2 + A3 – A4
(If A1 = 5, A2 = 9, A3 = 4, and A4 = 5)
The answer is 13.
This one took more time
since you had to “plug” in
the values.
 Using the previous equation, let’s make some changes:
A1 + A2 + A3 – A4
If A1 = 5, A2 = 9, A3 = 4, and A4 = 5, then the answer is 13.
 What if I change the value of A2 to 12?
 The answer is 16.
 What if I change the operation between A1 and A2?
 Instead of addition, now it should be multiplication.
 The answer is 59.
 Now it is getting more difficult!
These are a few uses for spreadsheets:
 Gradebook
 Budget
 Inventory
