Question

select all the correct answers. which three of the following are benefits of using electronic spreadsheets over paper spreadsheets? it is easier to enter data. it is easier to collect data from various sources. it is easier to analyze data using formulas. it is easier to sort data. it is easier to update data

Explanation:

• Electronic spreadsheets have built - in functions and tools. For data entry, they often have features like autofill, which can make it quicker than writing on paper.
• Formulas in electronic spreadsheets (e.g., in Excel) can be applied to cells, and when data changes, the results of calculations (analysis) update automatically. This is much more efficient than manual calculations on paper.
• Sorting data in an electronic spreadsheet can be done with a few clicks (e.g., sort ascending/descending), while on paper, it would require physically re - arranging rows or columns.
• Updating data in an electronic spreadsheet is as simple as overwriting a cell value, whereas on paper, it might involve erasing and rewriting, which can be messy and error - prone.
• Collecting data from various sources is not inherently easier in an electronic spreadsheet. Data still needs to be inputted (either copied and pasted or typed), and on paper, one could also gather data from different sources (though inputting into the paper spreadsheet might be slower).

Answer:

It is easier to enter data, It is easier to analyze data using formulas, It is easier to sort data, It is easier to update data
