used for a wide variety of purposes such as creating an address book, grocery lists, tracking
expenses, creating invoices and bills, accounting, balancing checkbooks and other financial
accounts, as well as any other purpose that requires a spreadsheet or table.

and features you need to design professional spreadsheets, but all with just a few clicks of the
mouse.
