By Ann Johnson


Most people simply cannot even imagine a world where they do not have constant access to an internet. To them, life as we know it is simply impossible without computers and smart devices and the technology surrounding them. Different people have different uses for their computers. That is why they purchase different types of software applications. For example, for many companies in San Francisco Excel programming is of vital importance to their businesses.

There are different types of software programs that are designed to achieve different results. Many people never make use of spreadsheet programs because they think they need advanced mathematical skills in order to do so. This is untrue. Modern spreadsheet programs are easy to use and they can make life easier in many different ways. They are much more than just fancy calculators or basic database systems.

The needs of most households and small businesses can be fulfilled by means of templates. A template is a type of ready made solution with all the layout, formulas and reporting formats already done. The user simply enters the relevant data and the template do everything else. In this way, invoices, quotations, budgets and other financial documents can be generated very quickly. Most spreadsheet templates can be adapted by, for example, adding a company logo.

Spreadsheet applications offer much much more than quick and easy solutions. They are enormously powerful development tools too. Modern spreadsheets offer incredibly sophisticated functions that allow experts to perform numerical miracles. Many of these advanced functions require a background in statistics, engineering or finance. These experts are able to manipulate numerical data in very complicated ways, to present numerical data in visual format and to solve complex mathematical problems.

Most spreadsheet programmers are employed by software solution companies that create specialized applications for their clients. Businesses collect a great deal of data but so often they never make productive use of that data to increase their competitiveness or to analyse their own performance. A spreadsheet programmer can create a solution that will use existing data to predict trends, to point out weaknesses, to identify opportunities and to analyse productivity.

Unfortunately, far to many spreadsheet programmers deliver mediocre work. This is because they know exactly how to use all the sophisticated features of the spreadsheet application, but they do not understand the needs of the client. One does not hire an author because he is an expert work processor user. One hires an author because he is a good writer that knows how to use a word processor.

The data in possession of most businesses can be an important tool in making strategic decisions. They must be aware, however, that numerical data can easily be manipulated to to present a false impression. The methods and tools employed by the programmer should therefore be scrutinized and he should present a detailed proposal regarding the exact methods he will use in the manipulation of the data.

Spreadsheets are very powerful tools indeed. It allows users to see the same data in many different formats, even visually. Well designed spreadsheets can be of great help in strategic decision making.
