You can use Google Sheets to organize, format, and calculate data for practically anything, including organizing to-do lists, managing leads, making decisions, playing games like Wordle, simulating baseball games, or creating custom browser homepages. To get started with using Google Sheets, you need to understand the basics of spreadsheet terminology such as cells, columns, rows, ranges, functions, and formulas. You can access Google Sheets via the web, its mobile app, or desktop app. Google Sheets is a collaboration-friendly app that allows easy sharing and editing of worksheets with varying permission settings. It has a cell limit of 10 million but pales in comparison to Excel's 17 billion cells per spreadsheet. Excel has more powerful formulas and data analysis features, including built-in statistical analysis tools and extensive data visualization options. Google Sheets offers a "lite" version of most of these features. To create a new spreadsheet, you can access the Google Sheets dashboard, click on Blank spreadsheet or New spreadsheet from an existing one, or use the mobile app or desktop app. You can add data to your spreadsheet by typing in cells, importing data using Zapier, or copying and pasting data into your spreadsheet. The fill handle allows you to populate data or copy formulas and data in adjacent cells. Google Sheets also offers a toolbar with basic tools and formatting options, including the ability to hide columns and rows. You can use Google Sheets formulas to perform arithmetic operations, create pivot tables for analyzing large data sets, and create charts to visualize your data. Sharing and collaborating on spreadsheets is easy using the Share popup feature, which allows you to share links or enter email addresses of people to give them access. You can also automate tasks with Zapier's Google Sheets integration.
