structure, where data is arranged in rows and
columns, creating individual cells.
 Data Storage:
Each cell can hold various types of data, including
numbers, text, and the results of formulas.
 Calculations:
Spreadsheets excel at performing calculations using
formulas and functions, allowing for automatic
