Computations are no simpler or more complicated on a spreadsheet as opposed to a calculator. Accuracy tends to be improved with the use of a spreadsheet, because you don’t have to punch numbers into a calculator at any stage. However, someone truly concerned with accuracy can do a fine job with a calculator. The spreadsheet stands out when it comes to quantity. Analysts can program many permutations and scenarios into a spreadsheet, using minutes to do what would take hours or even days or weeks with a calculator. |
