Getting to Grips with a Spreadsheet

Ref: C3533274

Using a spreadsheet like Microsoft Excel or Open Office to create a budget and use various functions that help with this task. We will learn how to produce bar charts and print results. For those that struggle with maths or even those that don't a spreadsheet can be way of recording anything with numbers in a quick and easy way. For example adding or multiplying thousands of figures in a blink of an eye in a far more sophisticated way than a standard calculator. Learn how to utilise the power of a spreadsheet and enjoy maths the way it was intended with the computer doing all the hard work and any repetition needed.
