4-2 Google Sheets

Create a Spreadsheet:

There are different ways of getting started using Google Spreadsheets: you can create a new Google spreadsheet, you can upload a spreadsheet from a computer, or you can use a template from the templates gallery.

To create a new spreadsheet, go to your Drive, click the red NEW button, and select Sheets from the drop-down menu. You can always type sheet.new in your omnibox as well!

Edit & Format a Spreadsheet:

To enter content in an empty cell, click the cell and add your content. To edit a cell that already has content, double-click the cell and edit the content. Alternatively, you can click the cell once and press Enter or F2.

If you want to improve the look of text that requires line breaks, such as addresses, you can create lines breaks within a cell while editing. To create a line break, place your cursor in a cell and press Ctrl+Enter.

You can format data in your spreadsheets in a variety of ways using the options in the spreadsheet toolbar. You can hover over an icon on the toolbar to see a message describing what that option can do. Below is the toolbar in Sheets.
