Formulas can reference cells to automatically recalculate values when referenced data changes. Common spreadsheet uses include tracking finances, grades, statistics, and business data like payroll and investments. The interface includes elements like tabs for worksheet navigation, scroll bars, zoom controls, and cell selection tools.
