== Introduction ==
The spreadsheet is a sheet with a collection of columns and rows. It contains number of cells. A cell is a combination or intersection of a row and a column, in which information both text and numeric can be input. A sheet can be simply understood as an array of cells. Altogether Spreadsheets are useful for capturing and analyzing data.

=== Overview of features ===
Spreadsheet application is used for recording, processing and analyzing data. It is also used for creating text and graphical outputs. The application has many arithmetical, statistical, text processing functions which make it a very powerful desktop tool. Data can be sorted, filtered and processed into outputs, including multi-variate tables.

* When the cursor is on this cell, the formula will be seen in the ‘formula’ bar on top of the sheet, below the menu.<br>All arithmetic operations, statistical operations are possible with spreadsheet.

* You can ‘copy paste’ a formula from one cell to other cells in the same column, here ‘copy paste’ by default will copy paste the formula and not the content. This 'copy' and 'paste' of formula is not useful, when we want to 'fix' one value in our formula.

* For instance, if we are computing 'Percentage of total' in the example of Average annual rainfall (cms) then, You can input in column ''C2 "=B2*100/B16"''. If you copy this cell C2 to C3, Calc will change the formula to "''=B3*100/B17''", since it will increment both numerator and denominator cells.

If you copy this cell C2 to C3, Calc will change the formula to "''=B3*100/B17''", since it will increment both numerator and denominator cells.
* However consider you want to fix the denominator to '''B16''<nowiki/>'. To 'fix' the reference, you should insert '$' before the cell reference. So you should give formula ''C2 "=B2*100/B$16''" since you want to fix the value in the 16th row. When you copy paste the formula to C3, it will copy as "''=B3*100/B$16''", which is what you want.

Before printing any document we must make sure about the overall preview of the page. So get that we can click on "File--> Print Preview". This gives user the broader idea of how the printed material looks like.

==== Saving the files and formats ====
# Like in most applications, a file can be saved using the File –-> Save command, or by the shortcut key Ctrl+S. Always give a meaningful file name, reading which you should get an idea of the file contents. We can name this file “''Rainfall information for cities in South India, October 2016.ods''”. Often adding the month-year information when the file was created can be useful later.
