a. Formulas and function: Formulas are mathematical expressions that are


mainly used for performing simple and complex calculation. Functions are
built in formulas which are used for calculating percentage, interest, average,
etc., in MS Excel.
b. Formatting features: These features are used for improving the
appearance of data.
c. Auto Updation of data: The data is automatically recalculated in the
whole worksheet if any change is made in a single cell.

3. Mention any four spreadsheets software.

Microsoft Excel, Libre Office Calc, Gnumeric, Google Sheets.

4. Define a workbook.
Answer :- A workbook is a collection of one or more worksheets in a single
file. Each workbook has a single theme and contains, at least, one worksheet.
The workbook is designed to hold together multiple worksheets in order to
organize and consolidate data efficiently.

5. How is a Formula bar different from Name box ?


Answer :- The formula bar is located at the top of the sheet. It is located to
the right of the Name Box. This bar shows the characters and formulas that
you enter in an active cell. It shows the actual content of the cell. In Excel, if a
function or formula is written in a cell, the cell displays the result or value,
and the formula bar displays the function or formula applied. A Formula of
function always starts with an equal(=) sign. Whereas, the name box is
located above the column heading on the left hand side of the window. The
unique cell name/cell reference is displayed in this box. It displays the
location of the cell pointer.

6. Define cell range in MS Excel.


Answer :- A range is a group of contagious cells, which are selected or
denoted collectively. It can be as small as a single cell or as big as an entire
worksheet. You can specify range by writing the starting cell address followed
by the ending address, both separated by colon (:). For example, a range
starting from C3 and ending in J10 would be written as B2: H8.
