Introduction

Are you spending too much time number- crunching , rewriting financial reports , drawing charts , or searching for your calculator? Throw away your pencil, graph paper, and calculator, and start using Microsoft Office Excel 2003.

Excel is a spreadsheet program , designed to help you record, analyze, and present quantitative information. With Excel you can track and analyze sales, organize finances, create budgets , and accomplish a variety of business tasks in a fraction of the time it would take using pen and paper. With Excel, you can create a variety of documents for analysis and record keeping, such as monthly sales and expense reports, charts displaying annual sales data, an inventory of products, or a payment schedule for an equipment purchase.

Excel offers several tools that make your worksheets look more attractive and professional. Without formatting, a worksheet can look like nothing more than meaningless data. To highlight important information, you can change the appearance of selected numbers and text by adding dollar signs, commas, and other numerical formats, or by applying attributes such as boldface and italics.

The file you create and save in Excel is called a workbook . It contains a collection of worksheets , which look similar to an accountant 's ledger sheets with lines and grids, but can perform calculations and other tasks automatically.
