Let's talk about spreadsheet software!
Microsoft Excel is currently the most popular spreadsheet software application around, and it's probably the software most of you are using. Excel is part of the Microsoft Office office productivity suite. It's not cheap, which is why I also want to tell you about...
Free Alternatives to Microsoft Excel
Yes, there are free (and legal) alternatives to Microsoft Excel! If you don't have Excel on your computer (or even if you do, and you're curious about other how programs work) here are some options to explore:
1. LibreOffice is a free and open source software program that's available for Windows, Mac, and Linux computers. It's a great piece of software, and I've been using it for years as my main office productivity suite. You can download it for free from the LibreOffice website at: https://www.libreoffice.org/
2. Google Drive is a suite of web applications that runs in your web browser - which means it's available to you from any computer that's connected to the Internet. Google Drive includes a powerful web-based spreadsheet program called Google Sheets you can access online. If you have a Gmail address, you already have access to Google Drive. https://www.google.com/sheets/about/
3. Another web-based option is Microsoft's Office Web Apps that are free to access online. Excel Online (formerly called the Microsoft Excel Web App) is included in this suite of web applications. https://office.live.com/start/excel.aspx
I'll be using LibreOffice for most of these lectures, but you'll be able to do everything I show you in the spreadsheet program of your choice.
