Concept in Definition ABC

A cell is the space or field where data is entered in a spreadsheet.

On computing, cells are fields of variable size and arrangement that allow data, generally numerical, to be entered in order to relate them and perform mathematical operations in spreadsheets. Typically, the cell is a rectangular space that is formed between rows and columns and that is identified by the combination of one or more letters and a number. For example, B1 or AAA5. In the cell you enter information such as text or numbers, formulas and instructions.

In the science of computing, spreadsheets are a type of software that has the purpose of manage and manipulate numeric and alphanumeric data located in tables made up of rows and columns. A spreadsheet is used to perform mathematical operations, solve functions and formulas, and generate graphs and reports.

The best known spreadsheets are Microsoft Excel, Office suite, Numbers, Apple iWork suite, Lotus 1-2-3, Calc, Gnumeric and others

s. Software of this nature usually requires a certain type of training, but once acquired, its use is reliable and simple.

In operations as simple as carrying the accounting of a family o small group of people it is useful to use a spreadsheet. Of course, in other much more complex operations such as drawing conclusions about the state of the economy of a small or large company, especially a business, this type of software is essential and very useful to facilitate operations and save time and money.

The cells are then the unit par excellence to start the entry of information of all kinds in a spreadsheet and put them in relation to each other (for means of the intersection of rows and columns) to perform operations and obtain accurate results with small or large proportional amounts of information available.
