                 ICT, or information and communication technology, has become an essential component of our daily lives.
                 To access, manage, integrate, analyse, create, and communicate, one must gain the ability to use digital
                 technologies and communication tools. In this unit, we will learn how to use spreadsheets. Next, we will learn
                 how to perform basic operations in a spreadsheet and save a spreadsheet. Then, we will learn about data
                 manipulation and some advanced features in spreadsheet. Further, we will learn about presentation software
                 and its advantages. At the end of the unit, we will learn how to perform different operations in a presentation
                 software and how to save a presentation.


                   3.1 INTRODUCING SPREADSHEET
                 A spreadsheet is a type of electronic document with rows and columns. It is used to store data and perform
                 calculations in a systematic manner.

                 planning budgets, making annual reports of business organisations, generating salary statements, doing tax
                 calculations, etc. There are numerous spreadsheets available that have been developed by various companies.
