Spreadsheet

Spreadsheet

A technique, which originated in accounting, for displaying items in a wide series of columns (i.e. on a spread sheet of paper) so that calculations could be made by row or column as well as by item. The term has now largely been taken over by the computer world to refer to software packages that produce spreadsheets for visual display units, from which rapid electronic calculations can be made.
