If you're just getting started with spreadsheets, I highly recommend Google Sheets, the free spreadsheet app that works in tandem with Google Docs. In addition to being entirely free, streamlined, and stocked with all the fundamental tools you'll ever need, it also has hundreds of additional features. You can learn about the special capabilities of Google Sheets that can only be accessed through the web. With Google Sheets, you get much more than just a spreadsheet. Online spreadsheets allow group collaboration on data analysis and can be accessed from any device with an internet connection.
Discover the best add-ons for Google Sheets, as well as how to create your own, with the help of this book. The worksheets you create can be spread across multiple sheets in a single spreadsheet, or across the entire document. It is recommended, however, that you begin with a blank spreadsheet for this tutorial. With its text editing icons and tabs for additional sheets, Google Sheets' interface should be familiar to users of other spreadsheet applications. Google has simply simplified the interface by minimizing the number of visible controls. You should only enter one value, word, or piece of data into each cell. There is minimal mouse use and no need to double-click cells to enter data.
You can import into the active spreadsheet, make a new sheet, or switch out an entire sheet with a single tab. Double-clicking a cell in Google Sheets will copy the contents and paste them into a single cell, which is probably not what you want. Don't worry if your data comes out all wonky; we'll correct that in a minute. Google Sheets, CSV, XLS, and other spreadsheet formats stored in your Google Drive can be imported directly into your spreadsheets. You can use this in a number of ways, such as by dragging to copy the contents of an entire cell or by typing to create a bulleted list. The standard formatting controls are located above the first cell you format.
In fact, I use this format for the vast majority of my own spreadsheets because I use Google Sheets as my highly structured note-taking tool because it is easy to take notes, share them with others, and refer back to them.
But let's say you're dealing with dozens of spreadsheets every day (or worse, you have to share spreadsheets back and forth), and this is what someone sends you. Use Formulas to Average, Sum, and Filter Like other spreadsheet apps, Google Sheets includes a number of handy in-app formulas for performing common statistical and data manipulation operations. The cell you're working in will be highlighted in gray, and a question mark will appear next to it once you've entered a formula. If you follow these pointers, you'll have an easier time figuring out what data to include in your formulas.
I'll start by selecting a range and then clicking SUM from the formula menu to total up my ingredients. When I'm ready to add up a set of cells, I'll select a cell to use as the summation's destination and highlight the set's contents. Last but not least, I'll show you how to manually type a formula and a range. I'll use the COUNT formula to determine how much of each ingredient is called for in each recipe. The count formula basically verifies how many of a given range's cells contain data and returns that number. My spreadsheet will be formatted in the same way for this formula as the SUM row. In case you missed it, here's a tip we didn't go over before: Highlight the cell range you're counting and double-check it in the spreadsheet's bottom right corner. Sheets will calculate and display the sum for you when you highlight a string of numbers.
To help you get more done in your web browser quickly and easily, Google offers a suite of free online apps, one of which is Google Forms. A new, empty form can be created and connected to an existing spreadsheet. Google Forms allows you to include various types of question types, such as multiple-choice, checkbox, short-answer, and so on. Choose Tools > Create a Form in Google Sheets to initiate a blank new form that is directly associated with the active spreadsheet.
