A spreadsheet is an interactive computer application program

Spreadsheets developed as computerized simulations of
paper accounting worksheets. The program operates on data
represented as cells of an array, organized in rows and
columns. Each cell of the array is a model–view–controller
element that can contain either numeric or text data, or the
results of formulas that automatically calculate and display a
value based on the contents of other cells.
