Google Sheets Get Started

Google Sheets

Google Sheets does not require downloading and installation of the program. It simply runs in your browser.

Once you have successfully logged in, you will land in Google Sheets' start Page. Click on the Blank button to get started with a new workbook.

Enter a name for your workbook, and hit the Enter button on your keyboard:

Google Sheets has columns and rows, similar to a squared math exercise book.

First, click the cell A1, the one that is marked with the blue rectangle in the picture
Second, type =1+1.
Third, hit the Enter button:

Congratulations! You have typed your first function, 1+1=2.
