Including all our University Degree students

Excel is a computer program developed by Microsoft and is part of Office, which is an office suite that includes other programs such as Word and PowerPoint.

What is Excel used for?

Excel is different from all other office programs because it allows us to work with numerical data. With the numbers we store in Excel we can perform basic arithmetic calculations and we can also apply more complex mathematical functions, or use statistical functions.

Excel makes it much easier to work with numbers and allows us to analyze them easily and generate reports with tools such as graphs and pivot tables.

Excel is a spreadsheet

Excel belongs to the category of computer programs known as spreadsheets. Spreadsheets were developed since the 1960s to simulate paper accounting worksheets and thus aid in the automation of accounting work.

Electronic spreadsheets have been replacing paper spreadsheet systems, and although they were initially created for accounting tasks, today they are used for a myriad of applications where tabular data needs to be worked with.
