Spreadsheet Critical Thinking

A spreadsheet is helpful in running a business because using a spreadsheet helps a business owner keep track of his sales, perhaps. Changing values in a spreadsheet affect business decisions because for example, say by changing one value causes the other cell numbers to go down, then the business may want to work on why that value changed. The advantages of creating an automated spreadsheet rather than a hand written one is making an automated sheet is faster and easier. A hand written sheet would take much longer to do. The capability to recalculate automatically when values change makes an electronic spreadsheet more valuable than a spreadsheet created by hand because on an automated sheet the numbers change automatically when you recalculate. On a hand made spreadsheet, you would either have to erase all the numbers and redo the sheet or just make a brand new spreadsheet.
