A spreadsheet is;
  • A term to describe a grid-like table of data (the worksheet) and
  • the computer program that operates on it.

For example;

  • a Budget Analysis.

"In general terms - a Spreadsheet is used for organising tabular data, however as Spreadsheet programs become more powerful, their application can be applied to a far more varied range of tasks.

A Spreadsheet may be thought of as a "Super Calculator" for tables."
