• Spreadsheets are organized into columns and
rows
–
–
–
–
–
Cells are where a row and a column meet
Cell address is the position of the cell
Range is a group of adjacent cells
Values are numbers or dates entered into a cell
Cell pointers or cursors are where the data is to be
entered
3-17
Spreadsheets
3-18
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
– When the cells change, the graphs change
too
– Charts are a type of graph that include

Database Software
• A database is a structured collection of interrelated
files in a computer system with built-in data input
and retrieval methods.
• In databases
– Data redundancy is minimized
– Data is integrated and stored in a structured
fashion
– Data in databases has more integrity than does
data stored in separate files
– Data is organized into tables, records, and fields
– Data may include text, numbers, and graphics
3-21
