Another example, I can set up a worksheet to solve a quadratic equation say
x²-5x+6=0
And you could do this with a calculator
I saved my file
Next day we need to solve x²- x -12=0
With a calculator it's start from scratch but with Excel I just type in
three numbers ( 1, -1 and -12)
best wishes

I have a lot of sums I have to add up, and was advised by my boss that
it would be best to use Excel to do it; however, i'm having a hard time
figuring out how to add all these numbers together using excel. I tried
the tutorial and it's not really giving much info. Which is most
convenient to use, Excel, or a calculator? And if it's Excel, then how
do you get it to do the math? Any help appreciated thanks.
