Overview: Microsoft Excel 97 is a software application that can be used as a spreadsheet, database, or charting program. The spreadsheet portion of Excel allows you to perform sophisticated calculations and create formulas that automatically calculate answers. 

The advantage of using formulas is that when data in the worksheet changes, all the formulas recalculate automatically. This feature assists you in developing budgets, forecasting models, creating sales plans, making financial projections, calculating inventories calculations, generating banking statements, and basically working with any format involving numbers. Excel can sort lists and select specific pieces of information based on specified conditions.
