What is data in spreadsheet?

Answer 1

Data is information that is stored in any spreadsheet program such as Excel. Data is stored in cells in a worksheet. In addition to being stored in the spreadsheet, the data can be used in calculations, displayed in graphs, or sorted and filtered to find specific information. There are three types of data in Excel: values, labels, and date/time. Examples: To help keep data organized in a worksheet, enter data into rows from left to right. Each row of data should have a heading on the left identifying what the data is.

Answer 2

Data is individual things you put in like a name, a date, a number etc. You enter data into computers. A spreadsheet is an application for numerical analysis and manipulation. It makes use of data that people enter into it. If you type in a list of numbers, that is data. A spreadsheet can then do things like add the numbers up or get averages or find the highest or lowest value etc.

Answer 3

In a spreadsheet the data is the actual values that you type in, that are then used in calculations. So if you were to type in a list of 10 numbers and then type a formula to add the ten numbers, it is the ten numbers that are your data. The formula is using your data. You could have other formulas that work on those 10 numbers, like getting the average or the highest or lowest number in the list. None of those formulas are your data though, just the original 10 numbers. You could then type in other numbers or dates or text and they would all form part of your data. But any calculations you do or formulas you use are not data.

Answer 4

Data is organised in columns and rows forming cells, into which individual units of data are entered.

Answer 5

Data is a collection of facts. When those facts are organized into a meaningful group, the data becomes information. Data can be displayed as numbers or text in Excel.
