10. FEATURES OF MS EXCEL
Microsoft Excel is a general-purpose electronic spreadsheet used to organize, calculate,
and analyze data.
There are a number of features that are available in Excel to make your task easier. Some of the main features
are:
• AutoFormat - to choose many preset table formatting options.
• AutoSum - helps you to add the contents of a cluster of adjacent cells.
• List AutoFill - automatically extends cell formatting when a new item is added to the end of a list.
• AutoShapes toolbar- will allow you to draw a number of geometrical shapes, arrows, flowchart elements, stars
and more. With these shapes you can draw your own graphs.

charts and more.

mouse button

13. FEATURES OF MS ACCESS
• Microsoft Access offers the functionality of a database and the programming capabilities to create easy to
navigate screens (forms). It helps you analyze large amounts of information, and manage data efficiently.
•Big databases are hard to wade through when you want to find something. Access provides several
tools for sorting, searching, and creating your own specialized tools (known as queries) for finding the elusive
single record or group of records you need.
•Typically, a big database has big data-entry needs. Access offers not only forms but also features that can
create a quick form through which someone can enter all those records. This can make data entry easier and
faster and can reduce the margin of error significantly.
Access saves time by making it easy to import and recycle data. You may have used certain tools to
import data from other sources — such as Excel worksheets (if you started in Excel and maxed out its
usefulness as a data-storage device) and Word tables. Access saves you from reentering all your data and
allows you to keep multiple data sources consistent.
