What is speed sheet

Spreadsheet as the name suggests is one big table or chart with data spread all over the page. Before the advent of computer programs, paper spreadsheets were used to record data for financial analysis. The accountant had to spend several hours recording data in tiny rows and columns and calculating results using a calculator. All the work had to be done using pencil and could only be penned when one was sure that the data is not going to change. The introduction of spreadsheet on computers revolutionized the world of number juggling. It allowed user to quickly enter data electronically and edit it as required. Even complicated calculations could be performed and the data could be presented in the form of graphs and charts for easier comparison of two sets of data.
