7 th grade Business & Computer Science 1 Excel Project 1 Creating a Worksheet and an Embedded Chart What is MS Excel? MS Excel is a powerful spreadsheet program that allows users to organize data, complete calculations, make decisions, graph data, develop professional looking reports, publish organized data to the Web, and access real-time data from Web sites. There are four major parts in Excel. Workbooks and worksheets: Workbooks are a collection of worksheets. Worksheets allow users to enter, calculate, manipulate, and analyze data such as numbers and text. The terms worksheet and spreadsheet are interchangeable. Charts: Excel can draw a variety of charts. Tables: Tables organize and store data within worksheets. For example, once a user enters data into a worksheet, an Excel table can sort the data, search for specific data, and select data that satisfies defined criteria. Web Support: Web support allows users to save Excel worksheets or parts of a worksheet in HTML format, so a user can view and manipulate the worksheet using a browser. Excel Web support also provides access to real-time, such as stock quotes, using Web queries. In this project, you will create a worksheet with an embedded chart.
