Star (or Open) Office Spreadsheet Application

The spreadsheet application revolutionized the finance job. This is a very versatile calculator based on a tabular layout. It is segmented into horizontal and vertical grids (called cells). Enter numbers in certain cells, and other cells automatically tabulate answers from a variety of equations.

Features:

  • Add, Subtract, Multiply or Divide a Group of Cells
  • Calculate Calendar Dates
  • Amortize Payment Schedules
  • Trend Analyses
  • Chart Data
  • Utilize Complex Algorithms

One of the most common misuses of the spreadsheet application is to keep a database of entries (i.e. -- Address information). Most Database applications can import spreadsheet files.
