Key Features of Google Sheets:
Real-Time Collaboration: You can work on the same spreadsheet with others at the same time. As soon as someone makes a change, it shows up instantly for everyone else.
Sharing and Permissions
You can easily share your spreadsheets with others by sending them a link. You can also control whether they can just view, comment, or edit the file.
Formulas and Functions:
Just like in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets lets you use formulas to perform calculations or organize data. Whether it’s basic math or more complex tasks like VLOOKUP or IF statements, the tool makes it easy to work with data.
Integration with Other Google Tools:
Google Sheets works well with other Google apps like Google Docs, Google Forms, and Google Slides. For example, you can collect data through a Google Form and have it automatically appear in a Google Sheets file.
Add-ons
You can install additional tools called add-ons to give Google Sheets even more features. These add-ons can help with tasks like creating charts, making reports, or connecting to other software.
Offline Mode: You can still use Google Sheets even when you don’t have an internet connection. Any changes you make will sync up once you’re back online.
Charts and Graphs: Google Sheets lets you easily turn your data into charts and graphs, making it simple to visualize information like sales numbers or survey results.
Conditional Formatting: You can apply formatting rules to highlight important data. For example, you could make certain numbers bold or change the color of cells based on the value inside.
