This course will focus on manipulating data and performing calculations using basic formulas in Google Sheets. First, discover how to manually select and use formulas in a cell, as well as get access to the full list of functions available in Google Sheets. You will also learn how to perform simple calculations and copy formulas to quickly fill out a table. Other functions will allow you to rank, count, and round values in a sheet. Google Sheets' functions are useful for manipulating text as well. For example, to replace specific characters or a text string. Finally, learn how to create formulas to generate random numbers and remove whitespace.

3. Performing simple calculations in Sheets 20224m 40sA cell in Google Sheets can act as a calculator, allowing you to perform mathematical equations and calculations. In order to begin using a cell in this way, you need to start your data entry with an equals sign (=). You can perform simple calculations, and even perform multiple calculations in a single cell. FREE ACCESS
-
4. Repeating your formula within your spreadsheet in Sheets 20224m 19sRather than copy out the same formula multiple times, you can use the fill-down function in Google Sheets in order to repeat a particular cell's contents elsewhere. Google Sheets automatically updates the data involved in order to ensure that the appropriate calculation is performed. FREE ACCESS
-
5. Creating automated cumulative totals in Sheets 20223m 36sIf your data in Google Sheets is in chronological order, you can automatically add values together to give a running total. You can add the values and save time by using the autofill to automatically add data to your worksheet cells. FREE ACCESS
-
6. Changing number units in Sheets 20223m 26sIf you are using a particular number format in your spreadsheet and suddenly find that you need to change to a different system, you can use several different functions in Google Sheets in order to perform the operation automatically. You can convert binary, hexadecimal and decimal number formats. FREE ACCESS
-
7. Factorizing the results of a division in Sheets 20223m 17sWhen performing a division calculation, you can use MOD and QUOTIENT in order to find out the remainder and quotient data relating to your operation. You are also able to edit your values. FREE ACCESS
-
8. Counting cells in a range in Sheets 20223m 20sUsing a formula in Google Sheets, you can find out how many rows or entries there are in a specified selection using the COUNTA formula. You can also use the formula in conjunction with the IF conditional modifier, allowing you to specify particular properties in your data. FREE ACCESS
-
9. Ranking a value in Sheets 20224m 5sBeing able to rank a data entry is very useful, particularly if you are working with statistics. Google Sheets includes a number of rank-based formulas, including LARGE, RANK and SMALL, which you can use to help organize your data. FREE ACCESS
-
10. Rounding numbers in Sheets 20225m 13sIn Google Sheets, there are many different formulas that you can use to round your data values up or down. Which one you choose will depend on how you want to perform the calculation. You can, for example, round a value up to the nearest multiple, round it down to the nearest fraction, and even truncate a value. You'll use formulas such as ROUNDUP, ROUNDDOWN, CEILING, FLOOR, and TRUNC. FREE ACCESS
-
11. Using replacement formulas in Sheets 20223m 58sGoogle Sheets features a number of formulas that can be used to very precisely locate and replace character strings. You can use formulas such as REPLACE and SUBSTITUTE in order to replace text entries rather than editing them manually. Finally, you can use the TRIM option to remove any unnecessary blank space. FREE ACCESS
-
12. Generating random numbers in Sheets 20224m 32sGoogle Sheets' random number generators can help you do everything from organizing a weekend athletics competition to creating project groups at work. You can use the functions RAND and RANDBETWEEN to generate random numbers, as well as use the RANK function to automatically create a running order. FREE ACCESS
