DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MANUAL AND ELECTRONIC

(COMPUTER)SPREADSHEET

Electronic (Computer Spreadsheet) are far better than manual Spreadsheet in all most all aspect. We will discuss only some of the benefits of using a Electronic spreadsheet.

1. Electronic spreadsheets work thousand of times faster than the manual spreadsheet. Your work in an electronic spreadsheet is better, faster and precise than manual spreadsheet.

2. In the manual spreadsheet, if you find an error after making it, you have to erase it or you will have to to make the whole worksheet again. Whereas in electronic worksheet, you can check and correct Worksheet before printing. Also you get the facilities of checking, finding and replacing, auto-correcting spell and many more, which give more part of of the work to the computer and less to you.

3. You can copy the formula once you made to all other amounts in the worksheet, while in the manual worksheet you are to calculate the formula for every amount.

4. You can make your worksheet more beautiful and smart by adding charts and graphical objects, while the manual worksheet is a dumb-looking piece of white paper. No charm, no glamour.

5. The electronic worksheet is much bigger than the manual worksheet.

6. Saving your worksheets a big problem you can have with the manual work. Every time you make a worksheet for one purpose, you are to save it in a different file. Also you are to store the previous worksheets to keep track of what going on. In the electronic work, you can save them on your disk, which saves the loss of paper and you can move many worksheets on one floppy disk in your pocket. Other way, you would have to pick a bundle of papers with you.

7. Other benefits contain the tools for spell-checking, built- in formula list, different fonts and sizes, automatic alignment, copying and pasting, linking and many more which are difficult to be listed here. However, once you get started with a electronic worksheet, it looks damn difficult to go back to  the manual method.
