Understanding Spreadsheets and Workbooks

A spreadsheet is a computer application that simulates a physical sheet of paper arranged in rows and columns to capture, display, and manipulate data. It allows for numerical data and short text to be stored in individual cells referenced by their position. Spreadsheets can show data relationships graphically but generally don't structure or query data as fully as databases. A workbook in Microsoft Excel contains one or more spreadsheets called worksheets that make up a single file.
