Introduction
What is a Spreadsheet?
In the past, financial records for any type of business or other organization were
always kept by hand in bound form, hence the term “keeping the books”. A sales
ledger, for instance, might be laid out as a graph, with the months of the year across
the top, and the names
of
sales personnel or merchandise down the left column. This
type of accounting tool had another name; it was called a “Spreadsheet”.

the calculations made for you, quickly and easily. The Brother Spreadsheet combines
