Financial management software includes Excel 2010.
In 1982, Microsoft launched its first spreadsheet software, Multiplan, and it was a great success on the CP/M system. However, Multiplan lost to Lotus on the MS-DOS system. 1-2-3. This event prompted the birth of Excel, just like Excel development codename Doug Klunder: Do what Lotus 1-2-3 can do, and do it better. In 1985, the first Excel was born, which was only used for Mac systems; in November 1987, the first Excel for Windows systems was also produced (it was directly bundled with the Windows environment, and the version number in Mac was 2.0). Lotus 1-2-3 has been unable to be applied to Windows systems. By 1988, Excel sales exceeded Lotus, making Microsoft the leading position among PC software vendors. This incident contributed to the replacement of the dominant player in the software kingdom. Microsoft consolidated its position as a strong competitor and found the direction to develop graphics software. About every two years since then, Microsoft will launch a new version to expand its advantages. Currently, the latest version of Excel is 16, also known as Microsoft Office Excel 2016.
In the early days, Excel became the target of trademark law because it had the same name as a software called Excel sold by another company. After a trial, Microsoft was required to use the name Microsoft Excel in its official documents and legal documents. to name this software. However, as time went by, this practice gradually disappeared.
Although Excel provides a large number of user interface features, it still retains the features of VisiCalc, the first electronic spreadsheet software: rows and columns form cells, data, data-related formulas or other An absolute reference to the cell is saved in the cell.
Excel is the first spreadsheet software that allows users to customize the interface (including fonts, text attributes and cell formats). It also introduces the "intelligent recalculation" function. When cell data changes, only the data related to it will be updated, while the original tabulation software can only recalculate all data or wait for the next instruction. At the same time, Excel also has powerful graphics functions.
When Excel was first bundled into Microsoft Office in 1993, Microsoft redesigned the interfaces of Microsoft Word and PowerPoint to adapt to this extremely popular application at the time.
In the Windows 10 operating system, select the Start | Microsoft Office | Microsoft Excel 2010 command in order to start Excel 2010, and the Excel 2010 window shown on the right will appear on the screen.
In this window, in addition to the title bar, quick access toolbar, file menu (a green menu on the left below the title bar), ribbon (the striped area below the title bar), status bar ( In addition to the screen components of basic Windows windows such as displaying the status of selected cells or cell range data) and control menus, Excel also has its own special screen components.

The column labels are above, the row numbers are on the left, the vertical scroll bar is on the right, and the horizontal scroll bar is below. Each Excel file is called a workbook, and each workbook consists of several worksheets. A worksheet is a spreadsheet consisting of 1,048,576 rows and 16,384 columns, which can store text, values, formulas, charts, sounds and other information.
The intersection of rows and columns in the worksheet forms a rectangular grid, called a cell. The cell is the basic unit for storing information in the worksheet and is the smallest operation object for Excel data processing. In the Excel 2010 worksheet, there are 17179869184 cells in one cell.
The cell surrounded by a thick black frame is the currently active cell, that is, the cell currently undergoing data input and editing. At any time, there is only one active cell.
Only when the cell is activated, data input and modification operations can be performed on it.
Just like coordinate values, row numbers and column labels identify the location of cells in the worksheet and form the cell address. As shown in the picture on the right, the active cell is A1, which means that this cell is in the first row of column A in the worksheet. The address C5 indicates that this cell is in the fifth row of column C in the worksheet.
In Excel 2010, a worksheet can have up to 1,048,576 rows and 16,384 columns.
The name box is located on the lower left side of the ribbon and is used to display the active cell address or the name of the selected cell, cell range, or object.
The content box is located on the right side of the name box and is used to display the data, formulas and functions in the active cell. The name box and content box form the edit bar.
The worksheet label is located at the lower left of the worksheet and is used to display the identification name of the worksheet. The background color of the currently opened worksheet tab is white, while the background color of non-current worksheet tabs is gray.
On the left side of the worksheet label, there are four label scroll buttons, which are used to scroll the worksheet labels. They are to scroll to the first worksheet label, to scroll to the previous worksheet label, and to scroll to the next worksheet label. a worksheet tab and scroll to the last worksheet tab.
