Week 2 -Spreadsheet Essentials

Spreadsheet is very handy for any business or person or group that wants to organize data. Excel, which was the main spreadsheet covered, is useful with any amount of knowledge. If you don't know much about spreadsheet, it is useful to just enter data in an organized way. If you are a little more familiar, using formulas and calculations make it very helpful. Then more advanced users know how to use pivot tables and other advanced tools to maximize the value of spreadsheet. Spreadsheet is only as useful as much as the user wants to make it.
For my entrepreneurial idea, spreadsheet can be useful in many of the steps in the process. Spreadsheets can be used to organize different models, different orders and organize the employees and their pay and work hours.  For the remote control key for the home, there is endless possibility for models. There can be simpler keys just lock and open the door, there can be keys can turn on and off the alarm, these would need some sort of keyboard or typing in capabilities. There are also options for screens that someone could watch cameras that are in their house to make sure children and doing homework or that their house isn't being burglarized. A spreadsheet can help organize the different models, components of each model, price of each individual component and the total price of each.
The graph option in spreadsheet can also be helpful in this potential business. The graph can show how manufacturing has gone up or down and how ordering has gone up or down.  The graphs are easy on the eyes compared to lists and lists of words and numbers. Graphs simply show up trends or down trends  or if there is no trend at all.
