Using Google Docs Spreadsheets

Page history last edited by Michael M Grant 15 years ago

1. Spreadsheets are all really, really similar.

If you need a quick overview of how to move around inside Google Docs spreadsheets, changing the size of columns, etc., then here's a quick video that will help out with that.  It gets you up to speed really quickly.  If you are comfortable moving around spreadsheets, then I recommend skipping on to number 2.

2. Enter data and formulas.

  • Like any spreadsheet, you're ready to enter the data and the formulas for calculations.
  • To insert formulas: Insert >> Formulas
  • If you'd like an overview of adding formulas, here's another quick video to show you how.

3. You might need to make a chart.

  • You might need to make a chart/graph to display your results or your data.

4. Sharing with spreadsheets.

  • Just like sharing in Google Docs word processor, you can share your spreadsheet, too.
  • The process of sharing is exactly the same.  Choose "Share" in the upper right. Then choose "Invite people."
  • Sharing in Google Docs spreadsheet is synchronous, meaning it is possible for you and your collaborators to work on the document at the same time.  This can get a little confusing.  So, pay close attention to what's changing.  Here's a quick video to explain how it works.
