| {{tag|Spreadsheets}} have an astonishing range of functions that help with maths or modelling. They appear to turn any mathematical trick so there may be an assumption that spreadsheets are the tool to handle all calculations and graphs.

|
| |
| However, there are other tools. Furthermore, they may be designed for tasks we need to do in school and actually do things that a spreadsheet does not do. For example, there are data handling packages designed for use with data collected from {{tag|sensors}}. These packages can take reading at points on a {{tag|graph}}; {{tag|calculate}} net changes; calculate graph areas; plot a rate of change against time and these things can often be done with less IT training and more efficiency.
