How To Make Formulas on Google Sheets

Creating a Formula:

Creating the Formula:

1. To create formulas, first select the cell you want the answer to be in.
2. Next, type in an equal sign (=) and the function you wish to use.

Note: See Additional Features>Formulas for a list of functions.

3. In brackets, type the location of the cells (eg. A1) that you want to apply the
function to and separate them using commas.
Note: The cells can also be selecting by clicking on the cell while your text cursor is
within the brackets.
Additional Features:

Shortcuts:

1. If you want to use multiple cells in a column, instead of typing them all, just
separate the first and last cell with a colon to select everything between them.

Example: A2:A6
2. Shortcut keys for cells:
Bold > Ctrl + B
Underline > Ctrl + U
Italic > Ctrl + I
Strikethrough > Alt + Shift + 5
Center Align > Ctrl + Shift + E
Left Align > Ctrl + Shift + L
Right Align > Ctrl + Shift + R
Show All Formulas Being Used > Ctrl + ~

Formulas/Functions:

1. Add: Adds all digits in the selected cells together and shows the total in the
cell that contains the formula (Only two numbers at a time).
Eg. 4 + 5 = 9
2. Sum: Similar to adding, the sum adds all the digits in the selected cells
together and presents them in the cell that contains the formula.
Eg. 4 + 5 + 1 + 7 = 17
3. Minus: Subtracts all digits in the selected cells and shows the total in the
cell that contains the formula (Only two numbers at a time).
Eg. 8 - 6 = 2
4. Multiply: Multiplies all digits in the selected cells together and shows the
total in the cell that contains the formula (Only two numbers at a time).
Eg. 4 x 5 = 20
5. Divide: Divides all digits in the selected cells and shows the total in the
cell that contains the formula (Only two numbers at a time).
Eg. 8/8 = 1
6. Count: Shows the number of cells that has been selected.
Eg. A2:A5 = 4
7. Max/Maxa: Shows the maximum numeric value in a dataset (highest
number).
Eg. 4, 5, 6 = 6
8. Min/Mina: Shows the minimum numeric value in a dataset (lowest
number).
Eg. 4, 5, 6 = 4
9. Average: Shows the numerical average value in a dataset (middle
number).
Eg. 4, 5, 6 = 5
