If you’ve ever heard of Microsoft Excel (and you probably have), Google Sheets is basically the same thing. It has a similar look and is used for similar purposes.

But here’s the thing – Google Sheets is an online app. That means you can collaborate with multiple people on the same sheet at the same time. Using a spreadsheet app like Google Sheets, or even Microsoft Excel, can be a bit more complicated than it seems. There are a lot of tips and tricks to learn.

Finding It

Since Sheets is a Google app, you can find it pretty much anywhere on Google. If someone emailed you a Sheets page, you can access it through Gmail. Just open Gmail, search for the name of the Sheets page, and open it. You can also search for “Google Sheets” in Gmail to find all the Sheets pages that have been shared with you through email.

First and foremost, Google Sheets can be easily accessed through Google. Just type “Google Sheets” into the search bar and click on the first link that appears. It will take you to Google’s page where you can find Google Sheets, along with Docs, Slides, and Forms. This is where Sheets resides. To begin using this application, all you have to do is click on Go to Google Sheets.

Hey there! Did you know you can access Google Sheets right on your Google Drive? It’s super convenient! When you visit your Drive, you’ll find all the Sheets documents you’ve created, as well as any Docs, Slides, and Forms that have been shared with you. It’s like a central hub for all your awesome online files in the Cloud!

To make a fresh Sheets file using Google Drive, all you need to do is click on the “New” button located just below the Drive logo at the top-left corner of the page. Then, hover your cursor over the arrow icon next to the Google Sheets option. You’ll have the choice of starting with a completely empty page or selecting from a variety of template options.

Get to Know Spreadsheet Terms

Hey there! If you want to master Google Sheets, it’s important to understand all the fancy terms used in spreadsheets. These terms are not only used in Google Sheets but also in MS Excel.

Let’s start with the basics. A cell is like the building block of a spreadsheet. It’s a tiny square where you can put your data. When you put a bunch of cells together, you’ve got yourself a whole spreadsheet!

Now, columns and rows are just fancy words for directions. A column is a vertical line of cells, while a row is a horizontal line.

A range refers to a group of cells that can be in a column, a row, or both.

Now, here comes the star of the show – functions! Functions are super important in spreadsheets. They allow you to do all sorts of calculations and make your life easier. A formula combines cells, rows, columns, and ranges to tell the spreadsheet app what calculations to do.

A worksheet is like a canvas for your spreadsheet. It’s a combination of rows and columns that give structure to your data. You can have multiple worksheets within a single spreadsheet document.

Master the Basics of Google Sheets

Using Google Sheets or any other spreadsheet app can be a bit tricky if you’re new to it. Becoming a pro at Google Sheets takes time and practice.

But don’t worry, there are some basic things you can learn right now to get started. These will pave the way for more advanced features in Google Sheets.

First of all, you can make the most out of Google Sheets by using it on all your devices. If you have a smartphone, grab the Google Sheets app. Log in with your Google account and access your spreadsheets anytime, anywhere.

Create Your First Sheet

Ready to dive in? Follow these steps to create your very first Google Sheets file. When you open a blank file, you’ll see a bunch of cells waiting to be filled. To enter data into a cell, simply select it and start typing. No need to double-click or use your mouse. You can even use arrow keys to navigate. Once you’re done with a cell, hit Enter to move to the next row or Tab to move to the right within the same row. And if you want to jump to a specific cell, just click on it with your mouse.

Now, listen up! You don’t need to be a tech whiz to get this done. All you have to do is follow a few simple steps. First, copy and paste the data into your spreadsheet. Easy, right? But what if you want to copy data from a spreadsheet that’s in a PDF file? Well, that’s where it gets a bit trickier. If you try to copy it, you’ll end up with all the data in one messy cell. No fun. But don’t fret! I’ve got a solution for you.

When you’re copying data, stick to HTML tables. Trust me on this one. HTML tables are like little organized boxes that keep your data neat and tidy. No more jumbled messes! So, next time you’re copying data from a PDF or any other source, make sure it’s displayed in an HTML table. It’ll save you a ton of headaches, believe me!

Now, let me tell you another handy trick. You can also import a spreadsheet file with different extensions like csv, xls, and xlsx. It’s as easy as pie! Just follow these steps: Go to File, then Import, and finally, select Upload. Voila! Your spreadsheet file is imported and ready to go.

One of the awesome features you’ll find really handy on Google Sheets is the ability to export your spreadsheets. Yep, with just a couple of clicks, you can create an offline file for your spreadsheet. Here’s how you do it: go to File, then select Download and pick the format from the list. Most folks usually download Google Sheets files as MS Excel files.

Getting Better with Google Sheets

Becoming more skilled in Google Sheets and learning how to do things that will truly make your life easier with spreadsheets takes time and practice. While you can find a ton of useful tips online, there’s really nothing like hands-on experimentation. Google Sheets is an amazing app that has all the features of MS Excel and even a few new ones here and there.
