Chapter 13:
Spreadsheet Application
The Spreadsheet application provides you with powerful, take-along-anywhere spreadsheet capabilities
including graphing and statistical calculations on your ClassPad. A spreadsheet has 999 rows and 64 columns
(A1 to BL999).
The Spreadsheet window shows a screen of cells and their contents. Each cell can contain a value, expression,
text, or a formula. Formulas can contain a reference to a specific cell or a range of cells.
