In this paper we have introduced Numerical techniques to solve a two dimensional Poisson equation together with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Specifically two methods are used for the purpose of numerical solution, viz. Finite difference method and Finite element method. The implementation of the solutions is done using Microsoft Office Excel worksheet or spreadsheet. The numerical solutions obtained by these two methods are also compared with each other graphically in two and three dimension.
