The spreadsheet unit for Year 7 takes learners from having very little knowledge of spreadsheets to being able to confidently model data with a spreadsheet. The unit uses activities to progress from using basic formulas to writing your own COUNTIF statements. This unit will give you a good set of skills that you can use in computing lessons and in other subject areas.
