How To Use Formulas In Google Sheets?

To use formulas in Google Sheets, follow these steps:

1. Open a spreadsheet in Google Sheets.
2. Type an equal sign (=) in a cell to indicate the start of a formula.
3. Enter the function you want to use, or write the desired calculation.
4. Use cell references by clicking on the cells or typing their addresses (e.g., A1, B2:C5).

Here's a concise guide:

• Range Selection Mode: When editing a formula, you can use range-selection mode (F2 or Ctrl + e) to select a range.
• Formula Corrections: If there are errors after applying a formula to a range, a "Formula correction" box may appear with a suggested fix. Accept or reject suggestions by clicking "Accept" or "Dismiss" in the box, or press Ctrl + Enter or Cmd + Return (on a Mac).
• Nested Functions: To use nested functions, enclose the inner function in parentheses within the outer function.
• Formula Suggestions: Google Sheets may suggest formulas and ranges based on your data. Use the Learn more link at the bottom of the help box to explore more information about the suggested function.
• Functions & Keyboard Shortcuts: Use keyboard shortcuts to select functions:
  • Tools > Autocomplete to enable formula corrections.
  • Ctrl + e or Cmd + e (on a Mac) to enter range-selection mode.
  • Shift + F2 or Shift + Ctrl + e (on a Mac) to enter range-selection mode and make adjustments to all occurrences of that range in the formula.
