Spreadsheets are computer programs that let you create and manipulate data electronically. In a spreadsheet application, each value sits in a cell arranged in rows and columns.

You can then modify selected values to see how all the other values change accordingly. This enables you to study various what-if scenarios.
Excel also supports graphics features that enable you to produce charts and graphs from
