About Microsoft Excel at PHS:

MS Excel is one of the programs included in the Office 2003 suite. Because our district has a site license for these programs, teachers and students can install any or all of the Office 2003 programs on their home computers. If you are interested in borrowing an installation CD, please contact Mrs. Leivas at the library.

Excel is a powerful spreadsheet program that can be used for many purposes in addition to the spreadsheet, calculation, and graphing.

Some ideas for use:

• Timelines
• Word search puzzles
• Graphs
• Sorting data
• Spreadsheets
• Data analysis
• Pivot tables
• Pictographs
