- 5Why would we use graphs and charts in spread sheets?-information is quickly understood

- 8Describe Relative cell referencing?When a cell is referred to in a formula/function and can be copied into another.
- 9Name two advantages and two disadvantages for using spreadsheet software?+An artificial recreation
+Automatic Recalculation
+No additional software required
+Safer to run a simulation
+Graphs can be used
+ Variables and constants are used.
- may not be a accurate representation
- when relating to people, cant always give accurate results
-time consuming and expensive to make - 10What is the What If... function?An attempt to find out what is going to happen in the future. It requires a value to be changed so other values are recalculated.

- 14Describe what a Variable is?A variable is an identifier associated with a particular cell, there will be a value.
- 15Why would we use spreadsheet for modelling?-less risk (safer and cheaper) as you don't need to perform the actual test, it can predict the results.
-only needs one model to be created
-backed up and shared - 16What is the difference between formulas and functions?Formulas - are calculations that are entered by the user.
Functions: calculations that are built into the spreadsheet as they are too long to type in itself. - 17what is data when in a spreadsheet?any values that are entered for the use of calculations
- 18Describe a label in a spreadsheet?any test in a cell is describing the data in a row or column
- 19What can a Cell be?-Every cell is uniquely identifiable

- 21What is a row?A range of cells that goes across the spreadsheet
- 22Describe 3 advantages of using a workbook-Data changed on one worksheet reflects across the whole workbook
-Different access right can be given
