Spread Sheets!

I have always been familiar with excel but always hated using it because I thought it was really complicated. I learned how to use spread sheets to calculate money or numbers this week and I must say it makes using excel much more convenient to use for certain things like budgets. I did a practice one to test my knowledge by completing this wedding budget spread sheet. It made it so simple to add all the individual amounts up into a grand total and I even found the difference between two numbers! I think this would be a great tool to teach students in the class room so that they can easily figure out the total cost, amount or number of what ever they are doing to spread sheet over. Its a organized way to sort things into columns, rows and present numerical information. It can give you the percentages and organize your information into graphs. I did a spread sheet over what my wedding would cost with a budget of 40,000.
