Why we use Spreadsheets
Spreadsheets are used to record, organize and analyse data.
Data can be grafted or made into a pie chart.
Spreadsheets allow us to organise our work in a way that paper based systems don't allow us to.
Spreadsheets can be sent by e-mail or external drive.
Many professions use spreadsheets to record data because spreadsheet is easy to use and it is not time consuming.
Many scientists use speadsheets to analyze their data because the data can be analyzed for trends to predict outcomes and compare to theortical results.
Calulations can be done much faster and more accurately by using spreadsheet
