Overview
Google Sheets increased in popularity in the last years after adding many features year after year. This cloud-based spreadsheet application fights now on an equal footing the well known Microsoft Excel. Even if these two applications are similar, as always, there are and will always be strong points on both of the sides.
In the next hours we will focus on Google Sheets and, from time to time, we will make parallels with Microsoft Excel for a smooth transition for ones of you migrating outside of the Microsoft environment.
During the GOOGLE SHEETS ESSENTIAL TRAINING you will learn as a beginner to work effectively and efficiently with the basic functions of Google Sheets. You learn to enter data, make tables, calculate data and then analyze this data.
Completing this course will help you:
- Confidently navigate through Google Sheets
- Format you data for easy readability
- Understand the different cell reference types and know when to use each of them
- Apply the most used Google Sheets functions
- Start using Google Sheets for your spreadsheets projects (from Personal Budget to business applications)

You will see that sometimes when copying a formula from one cell to another, the result is not the expected one. In many cases, this is due to the faulty cell reference. We will learn about the absolute, relative and mixed cell reference types and when to use each of them.

In other words, formatting. We will see how to format your data, cells and tables and then, how to automatically change the formatting based on your defined criteria. In this step, we are adding color to the mathematics.

In many cases, at least one of your worksheets is a collection of data. It can be 10 lines but maybe hundreds, thousands… To make it easy to read we will create tables, block the header (table titles) so that when you scroll through the table you will always know what your data means and then will show you how to print the table and automatically include the table titles on every printed page. In the end of the lesson we will learn how to Adjust, add and delete rows and columns.
