Microsoft Excel
Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet developed by Microsoft for Windows, macOS, Android
and iOS. It features calculation, graphing tools, pivot tables, and a macro programming
language called Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). It has been a very widely applied
spreadsheet for these platforms, especially since version 5 in 1993, and it has replaced
Lotus 1-2-3 as the industry standard for spreadsheets. Excel forms part of the Microsoft
Office suite of software.
 Excel is a computer program use to create electronic spreadsheets.
 User can organize data, create chart and perform calculations.
 Excel operates like other Microsoft Office programs and has many of the same
functions and shortcuts of other MS programs.

EARLY HISTORY
Microsoft Excel has been around since 1982, first introduced as Multiplan, a very
popular CP/M (Control Program for Microcomputers), but lost popularity on MS-DOS
systems to Lotus 1-2-3. In 1987, Microsoft introduced Excel v2. 0 for Windows and by
1988 began to outsell Lotus 1-2-3 and the emerging QuatroPro.
• In 1993, Microsoft released Excel v5.0 for Windows which included VBA (Visual
Basic for Applications), aka Macros. This opened up almost unlimited possibilities
in automation of repetitive tasks for crunching numbers, process automation,
and presenting data for businesses. 
MAIN FEATURES

 Add Header and Footer

 MS Excel allows us to keep the header and footer in our spreadsheet document.

 Find and Replace Command

 MS Excel allows us to find the needed data (text and numbers) in the workbook
and also replace the existing data with a new one.

 Password Protection
 It allows the user to protect their workbooks by using a password from
unauthorized access to their information.

 Data Filtering
 Filtering is a quick and easy way to find and work with a subset of data in a
range. A filtered range displays only the rows that meet the criteria you specify
for a column. MS Excel provides two commands for filtering ranges:
 Advanced Filter; for more complex criteria
 AutoFilter; which includes filter by selection, for simple criteria

 Data Sorting
 Data sorting is the process of arranging data in some logical order. MS Excel
allows us to sort data either in ascending or descending order.

 Built-in formulae
 MS Excel has got many built-in formulae for sum, average, minimum, etc. We
can use those formulae as per our needs.
 Create different charts (Pivot Table Report)
 MS Excel allows us to create different charts such as bar graph, pie- charts, line
graphs, etc. This helps us to analyze and compare data very easily.

 Automatically edits the result

 MS Excel automatically edits the result if any changes are made in any of the
cells.

 Formula Auditing
 Using formula auditing we can graphically display or trace the relationships
between cells and formulas with blue arrows. We can trace the precedents (the
cells that provide data to a specific cell) or the dependents (the cells that depend
on the value in a specific cell).
