Spreadsheets

There are many ways to create spreadsheets. The most popular include Microsoft Excel, Calc (OpenOffice program like Excel but free), and Google Docs which is also free and online. Two important parts of spreadsheets include graphs and tables.

It's possible to create different graphs to show a visual of certain data. Also, inputting the data enables you to edit it and use pivot tables to exemplify results. For the most features Microsoft Excel and Calc are your best bet, online programs can only do so much.

This relates to my entrepreneurial idea because sales information and projected figures would need to be calculated. Spreadsheets are an important part for organizing data and analyzing them provides insight into what should be done to keep the business thriving. Customer information would be easy to analyze in a spreadsheet, with location and contact information it'd be simple to see where the product is being used.
