digital grid document for data
A computer document with many boxes in rows and columns, used to store numbers and do math.
Μοτίβο χρήσης:
to create [a] spreadsheet for [something]
Συχνό λάθος:
Learners sometimes confuse 'spreadsheet' with 'table' or 'chart'. A 'spreadsheet' is the whole document in a program like Excel or Google Sheets, which can contain several tables, charts, and worksheets. A 'table' is just a set of rows and columns, and a 'chart' is a visual picture of data.
