The compound word "spread-sheet" came to mean the format used to present book-keeping ledgers—with columns for categories of expenditures across the top, invoices listed down the left margin, and the amount of each payment in the cell where its row and column intersect.

IBM PC in 1981, the spreadsheet concept became widely known in the late 1970s and early 1980s. When the professor found an error, he had to tediously erase and rewrite a number of sequential entries in the PC World magazine called VisiCalc the first electronic table, triggering Bricklin to think that he could replicate the spreadsheet. process on a computer, using the blackboard as the model to view results of underlying formulas.

Please help Zapier by spreading the word about this book on Twitter! The suggested tweet for this book is: Learn everything you need to become a spreadsheet expert with @zapier’s Ultimate Guide to Google Sheets: http://zpr.io/uBw4 It’s easy enough to list your expenses in a spreadsheet, use =sum(A1:A20) to see how much you spent, and add a graph to compare your expenses. It’s also easy to use a spreadsheet to deeply analyze your numbers, assist in research, and automate your work—but it seems a lot more tricky. Google Sheets, the free spreadsheet companion app to Google Docs, is a great tool to start out with spreadsheets. It’s free, easy to use, comes packed with hundreds of functions and the core tools you need, and lets you share spreadsheets and collaborate on them with others. But where do you start if you’ve never used a spreadsheet—or if you’re a spreadsheet professional, where do you dig in to create advanced workflows and build macros to automate your work? Here’s the guide for you. We’ll take you from beginner to expert, show you how to get started with spreadsheets, create advanced spreadsheet-powered dashboard, use spreadsheets for more than numbers, build powerful macros to automate your work, and more. You’ll also find tutorials on Google Sheets’ unique features that are only possible in an online spreadsheet, like built-in forms and survey tools and add-ons that can pull in research from the web or send emails right from your spreadsheet.
  • Structuring Spreadsheets with the “Lish” Data Model

    Structuring Spreadsheets with the “Lish” Data Model

    Structuring Spreadsheets with the “Lish” Data Model Alan Hall , Michel Wermelinger, Tony Hirst and Santi Phithakkitnukoon. The Open University, UK and (4 th author) Chiang Mai University, Thailand. [email protected] ABSTRACT A spreadsheet is remarkably flexible in representing various forms of structured data, but the individual cells have no knowledge of the larger structures of which they may form a part. This can hamper comprehension and increase formula replication, increasing the risk of error on both scores. We explore a novel data model (called the “lish”) that could form an alternative to the traditional grid in a spreadsheet-like environment. Its aim is to capture some of these higher structures while preserving the simplicity that makes a spreadsheet so attractive. It is based on cells organised into nested lists, in each of which the user may optionally employ a template to prototype repeating structures. These template elements can be likened to the marginal “cells” in the borders of a traditional worksheet, but are proper members of the sheet and may themselves contain internal structure. A small demonstration application shows the “lish” in operation. 1. INTRODUCTION Building a spreadsheet frequently involves a high degree of replication, both at the level of cells containing the same or similar formulae and at the level of higher structures such as families of similar tables. In software engineering terms this is a contravention of the “don't repeat yourself”, or DRY, principle [Thomas & Hunt, 1999]. It increases the risk of errors due to possible inconsistency among the repeated elements, and can make maintenance particularly problematic.

  • Spreadsheet Development Methodologies with Resolver

    Spreadsheet Development Methodologies with Resolver

    Spreadsheet development using Resolver. Moving spreadsheets into the 21st Century. Kemmis & Thomas Spreadsheet development methodologies using Resolver. Moving spreadsheets into the 21st Century. Patrick Kemmis Giles Thomas Resolver Systems Ltd 17a Clerkenwell Road, London, EC1M 5RD, UK [email protected] ABSTRACT We intend to demonstrate the innate problems with existing spreadsheet products and to show how to tackle these issues using a new type of spreadsheet program – Resolver. It addresses the issues head-on and thereby moves the 1980’s “VisiCalc paradigm” on to match the advances in computer languages and user requirements. Continuous display of the spreadsheet grid and the equivalent computer program, together with the ability to interact and add code through either interface, provides a number of new methodologies for spreadsheet development. 1. INTRODUCTION Spreadsheets have many intrinsic problems stemming from the history of their development and the difficulties in changing the core user interface and coding language. The method of interaction has not significantly changed in over twenty years. The language used for their program code has not advanced with the developments in new dynamic computer languages. Resolver Systems has developed a new type of spreadsheet product, which addresses many of the issues identified in this paper and offers a new method of interaction and development. Developing robust spreadsheets is very hard using existing products. The rigorous testing of the computer software industry is absent from almost all business user-developed spreadsheets. The need to change as data requirements and calculations evolve invariably leads to their deterioration over time. The ever increasing size of data manipulated in spreadsheets only exacerbates the problems.

The Atari 5200 SuperSystem , or simply the Atari 5200 , is a video game console that was introduced in 1982 by Atari as a replacement for the famous Atari 2600. The 5200 was created to compete with the Mattel Intellivision, but wound up more directly competing with the ColecoVision shortly after its release. A number of design flaws had a serious impact on usability, and the system is generally considered a failure. The 5200 was heavily based on Atari's existing 400/800 computers and the internal hardware was almost identical. However, a number of issues (aside from the lack of a keyboard) meant that software was not directly compatible between the two systems.

The Atari 5200 SuperSystem, commonly known as the Atari 5200, is a home video game console that was introduced in 1982 by Atari Inc. as a higher-end complementary console for the popular Atari 2600.

The 5200 was based on Atari Inc.'s existing 400/800 computers and the internal hardware was almost identical, although software was not directly compatible between the two systems. The 5200's controllers have an analog joystick and a numeric keypad along with start, pause and reset buttons.
