Microsoft Excel
Microsoft Excel is the spreadsheet application tool in the MS Office Suite. Spreadsheets are reports that are used for business and financial applications that analyze data in a table format. Any data that needs analysis using formulas that can be arranged in a table should be in a spreadsheet. The same data can be represented with charts or graphs once the data is collected and arranged in a spreadsheet.

Unit Objectives: Demonstrate ability to use Microsoft Excel to create a collection of spreadsheets to solve problems that involve complex and repetitious calculations.  In addition, the student must be able to create an appropriate graph or chart to represent the data collection, and trouble shoot problems in the spreadsheet and formula design.
