Spreadsheets
• Formulas, Functions, Recalculation, What-If
– Formulas are instructions for calculations
• They define mathematically how one cell relates
to another cell
• Example: =SUM(A5:A15) sums the values of the
cells A5, A6, A7, and so forth up through cell
A15
– Functions are built-in formulas, such as SUM()
– Recalculation is the process of recomputing values
– What-If analysis allows users to see what happens
to totals when one or more numbers change in cells
• This is the powerful feature of spreadsheets over
manual calculations
3-19
Spreadsheets
• Charting and Analytical Graphics
– Spreadsheets allow you to automatically
create graphs
