Google Sheets

Tips and Tricks



Quickly Copy Data to Multiple Row or Columns

By dragging the small dot in the bottom, right-hand corner of a highlighted cell across or down a range of cells, you can perform a number of different functions:

  1. Copy a cell's data to a number of neighboring cells
  2. Copy a cell's formula to neighboring cells
  3. Create an ordered list of text data



Import Your Data from Excel or CSV Files

You can either import directly onto your current spreadsheet, create a new spreadsheet or replace a sheet (i.e. an individual tab) with imported data. The most common files you'll import are CSV files.



Copy and Paste Formatted Text from a Webpage

Often websites organize their information using tables. As a result, you can often copy and paste them into Sheets and retain the formatting.
