Microsoft Excel is one of the most powerful programs available on computers. It allows users to create charts, tables and graphs very easily. It also allows you to do difficult math problems very quickly by creating formulas. This means you write a special formula (or code) to tell the computer what to do and it does all the math for you! Cool, right?
