Getting Started with Google Sheets

Welcome to Teachers Tech my name is Jamie  and it's great to have you here. Today I want   to show you how to use Google Sheets so this is a  beginner's tutorial on Google Sheets and I'm going   to be starting at the basics we're going to be  covering many topics things like basic terminology   inputting the data formatting the data working  with functions working with formulas how to share   this and work with others how to insert graphs  and charts and how to print this so there's going   to be lots of different topics covered in this  tutorial here today if you take a look to at the   in the description you're going to find things are  timestamped so you can jump to different parts of   the video this is going to be a series so this is  the first lesson of beginner one but we'll Advance   it as we go along into the different lessons  let's get started on how to use Google Sheets for   beginners foreign you will need a Google account  in order to use Google sheet and to follow along   with today's lesson so right now I'm not logged  into mine if I was I'm just on google.com if I   go up to the app launcher the Google app launcher  here and look for Google Sheets when I go to this   it's going to ask me to log in if you have  an account you can go ahead and get logged   in with it if you don't have an account just go  use another account and you can see that you can   create a Google account right here now go ahead  get logged in then we can go to the next step   so now that I'm logged in you can see if I hover  over up top it shows me that I'm in my account   and if I go to my App Launcher now and click on  it I notice that Google Sheets is right at the   top well that's where I've put it so when I log  in it remembers you can drag these around into   different spots if you would like so I'm going  to go ahead and open Google Sheets like this   now there's a few different ways that you can  create Google Sheets and we'll go through that   today too and as we go through I'm going to give  you some tips and tricks just to make things more   efficient for you and if we are working through  any worksheets I'm going to put a link Down Below   in the description because then that way you can  make a copy of them and follow along exactly what   I'm doing and the other thing I would just ask if  things are if things are making sense to you and   you're learning uh please let me know with either  a thumbs up or comment down below it really lets   me know if this is working or not for the people  taking this beginners course and if you want to   be keep in touch when the new lessons come out  just make sure you get hit that subscribe button   with the notification alright so we're in Google  Sheets here and we can go ahead and start you   can see right here a blank Google Sheets I can go  ahead and click on this and it's going to start a   blank one just like this I notice I have no title  or anything on it if I want to go quickly back to   Google Sheets I can just click the icon right up  here when I click on it it brings me back to it   and I just want to point out some other navigation  right away too if I click on these three hot dogs   here the main menu if I click on it you can see  I can quickly go to Google Docs Google Slides   Google forms all through here and I can also go to  Google Drive and I can create a new Google sheet   also in there so everything is getting saved in  your Google Drive even though we're seeing uh you   know the ones that the past ones that I've worked  on through here this is just shows me my Google   Sheets if I go over to Google Drive 5 right here  you'll be able to see at this point I can create   a new one by going up to new so if I click on new  I have Google Sheets right here and if I go over   to this one I can either go from a spreadsheet  or a template so this is just something though   you can start either way if you're in your Google  Drive you can start a blank spreadsheet from right   there to uh and I just want to point that out if  you want to go back now to where we were before   we can just go up to the app launcher again Google  Apps and you can see Google Google Sheets is right   at the top I can click click on it and it opens  back up again other things I just want to point   out in this screen before we start on our first  Google sheet is that you can see the different   templates and when I was in Google Drive I had the  option of templates I'm not going to be covering   templates here today but I love using templates  that can save you a lot of time in this video   today we'll just be looking from a blank one and  adding data to it but after you learn the basics   try looking at some of these templates all right  let's go ahead and launch a brand new sheet just   by clicking on it just like this and we're ready  to go to the next step so let's go ahead and give   this spreadsheet a name and you can see it says  Untitled spreadsheet I'm going to just go give it   a name right now and I'm going to call this uh  practice Google Sheets so you can go ahead and   call it what you would like or call it the exact  same thing you can see it's saved to drive so as   I mentioned before this is being saved to drive  now I want to point out if I go back to just my   Google Drive here I have it open in this tab here  or I could hit back just on here again notice that   it's here right away so if I go to Google Sheets  I can see I just created this one here today this   practice Google Sheets and I could open it here  if I go to my Google Drive and I'm just going to   click on this tab I and just refresh this right  now there it is again so I could be opening this   from Google Drive drive or going from the Google  Sheets app as well all right I'm going to go ahead   and just go back up to this tab because all we  need is a browser to use Google Sheets we're not   installing anything on our computer we're just  using a browser to open up so I'm going to open   this Google Sheets the Google practice sheets  right here and let's talk about some of the   things that we see here before I give you a little  walk around I just want to give you one tip here   about creating a new sheet I'm going to open up a  new tab and I'm just going to type in sheets dot   new and if you just type that if you're logged in  this is a shortcut that will automatically create   a spreadsheet open for you you got to be logged  into do this so you could just type in sheet.new   or sheets.new or spreadsheet.new and it's going  to create a new one right from here I just wanted   to point out that quick little tip here I'm going  to close that window okay so what do we see here   now we have a ribbon up top here and we have  our spreadsheet down below the ribbon up top   here provides shortcuts to the Google Sheets  commands and it's broken into different parts   we have our sheets home what I showed you before  these would receive file edit view insert format   data tools extension help these are our menu and  down below we have this quick access toolbar so   this all through here is our quick access toolbar  and if you look into it you can see these lines   in between here this would be a group inside this  point and inside we have command so these commands   are shortcuts to directly to do something let's  talk about the different items on the sheet down   below here now the sheet is created by a number  of rows and a number of columns you can select   these rows or columns simply by selecting the  number if you want row so if I click on number   two you can see now the entire row is selected  if I select C it's going to be the entire column   now just to let you know when you open up a  new sheet by default there's going to be 1   000 rows in it if I scroll down we'll go all  the way to 1000 and if you're looking to find   how many columns by default it's going to have 26  so it goes all the way weight of Z but you still   can add more that's just by default so if you  times those two numbers you're going to have 26   000 cells on this sheet by default now what is a  cell it's going to be where the column and the row   intersects so in this case if I select here if I  look I have C and then the number three so this   is C3 I can always check to see what the number of  a cell is if I look in the name box right here at   the C3 if I click here now it goes to A3 to A5 so  I can always take a look and see what cell I'm in   the cells are where we're going to enter our data  in the other thing I want to point out is we can   have a range now a range is when you select more  than one cell so if I used an example here if I   just select two cells so if I select B I'm going  to just select and hold down and drag my mouse and   I have two different cells selected here now if I  look at here here it says B3 colon C3 so this is a   range these two are selected if I was expanding  this there still now you can see B3 colon C7 so   this is B3 all the way to C7 so if I mention a  range it's going to be a bunch of different cells   in an area if I just mention a cell it's just one  cell now the other thing I want to point out is   when you go ahead and create a sheet in Google  Sheets if you see that we have one sheet at the   very bottom we can create new sheets and those  sheets by default will have 26 000 cells on it as   well so if I go ahead and hit add sheet now I have  two sheets I have sheet1 and Sheet two and you can   change them back and forth and put different data  on them so I could still add another sheet and   with these sheets you can name them differently  so if you wanted to if you wanted to just double   click click in them now you can give it a name  I'm just going to write name like this and if you   wanted to change the order you can simply drag  them around so if I wanted name to be over here   I can click and drag and move them around if I  just use the drop down here it you can see I have   some different options here where I can delete  duplicate copy to rename so I double click but   you can rename here I could change the color and I  can even do things like protect the sheet or hide   the sheet but I'll talk about more of these things  later on in different tutorials here and I can   also move left or right okay now that we know a  little bit about the worksheet or about the sheets   that we're in let's go ahead and start adding some  data I'm just going to go ahead and delete these   extra sheets at the bottom here just by clicking  the drop down and delete and it will ask me if   I want to do this so these are just extra ones I  was showing you how to create so we'll just delete   just like that now the other thing I just want  to point out is when you go ahead and put some   data into a cell uh you that could be numbers  or it could be letters or words if I click in   a cell like this and if I just wrote let's say uh  hello world just like this notice I was typing in   the cell but it shows up here so if I go ahead  and click off of it it disappears but I click   back into it it says it here and it says it here  I can actually edit it from this point or from up   here too if I was going to edit it up here I can  just click in here and I can just start deleting   so if I just wanted a hello and then if I click  off I've made the changes so if I go ahead and   click in this again if I was going to let's say if  I wanted add world back and I started typing world   everything was deleted on it now I just want to  point out you can undo by using the arrow here or   you could use the shortcut Ctrl Z on your computer  so I'm just going to undo if I wanted to write   world back in here I would need to double click in  the cell and now I can type it in just like that   so I just want to point that out the other thing  is you might want to change when you're working   on it is the zoom uh and you right now I have it  at 100 but if I want this larger I could drop down   and then I can make the changes to it if I wanted  to go to 150 percent and now uh if depending on   how you see and everything you can adjust those  uh you might not see as many columns and rows   anymore but uh be when you're entering uh data  in it might be just a little easier to see if you   want to delete anything in here if I go ahead and  just select the cell once I can just hit delete   like so and it will be gone so those are just a  little bit of tips of entering in data and let's   go ahead now and enter a little bit more in to set  up our first practice so let's go ahead and create   some headings for our columns now so I'm just  going to go and start in A1 at this point right   here and I'm just going to write the word rank  so I'm going to click in there not tank but rank   like that so I'm going to go over to B and click  in it and at this point I'm going to write title   now I clicked in it I could use the  arrow keys on my computer to go over   to and the next one is going to be adjusted  so what's it going to be adjusted lifetime gross so we're creating a uh a chart our  information is going to be in about the   top 10 movies of all time but we're going to  adjust it in inflation so you can see what   the list is going to be what would be the  top one and now I'm going to use my arrow   key go over to D here and it's going to  be lifetime gross so this is going to be   the actual what it brought in and I'm actually  going to put down estimated number of tickets   of tickets so these are our headings and I'm  going to put one more column and it's going to   be year did you notice when I was writing in each  of these I wanted to point out how uh it was over   top of each other so if I click in here even  though I can't see it all everything's still   entered so I could click in this cell or I click  in this cell even though it's cut off at the O if   I look up top here the whole thing is written  now I can be adjusting my columns to fit this   better so a couple different ways you can do  this is if I wanted this do I needed this to   be a little larger I can go in between C or D and  get the handles like this so I could drag it just   like that so I can pull it up and make it match  so that's a quick way to do it the other way is   even quicker if I go let's say in between e or  F and I just double click just like that notice   it it said it I didn't have to pull it to where I  wanted to stop it adjusted automatically to it I'm   just going to go back with Ctrl Z and undo those  the other thing if you had multiple ones in it I   could just select here everything's selected  right now if I just go double click anywhere   all the columns adjust automatically but since  some of these don't have very much information   so the titles would be longer I it only adjusted  to title so I would have to set them back after   so just some tips about adjusting your column  size and you can do all this with rows too so   you just get the handles I can make my rows wider  if I needed them and as I put information in maybe   I'll adjust that maybe I don't depending  on the font size or how I format these   so go ahead Down Below in the description and  click on that first link to open up this file   it should create a copy for you so you can  kind of follow along and we'll do a little   bit more formatting now now the first thing that  we're going to do and we just kind of wrote some   headings in that last little exercise here we  need to add those to here and notice we don't   have any row above this area we can still add  rows and we can still add columns if we want   to and I'll be explaining as we go through is  adding these different things to this data set   now I want to add a row above this point here  so I'm just going to click on the one here and   I have this whole row selected if I right click on  this now I can go insert row above or below so if   I would go below I would put a gap in between  like that and that's not what I want you can   delete rows too if you ever have rows you don't  want you can go ahead right click delete row so   notice that you can clear row if you want to  take everything out of it too so I'm going to   go ahead and delete that row where do I want  it well I want it to be insert row above and   what do I want here well it was those headings  that we just put in so I'm just actually going   to paste them back in like that you can hit pause  if you want on the video and then just go ahead   and write those ones in again and we're going  to adjust the formatting in a bit so the other   thing that we need to add here is another row  above because I want a title to all of this too foreign lifetime adjusted grosses so again I could do  this way but I could also go if I select in a cell   like this insert notice this time I can do columns  because I could go left or right I just don't have   a row selected but I do want another row above and  I want to have a column here but you know I don't   want it to be just in this one cell so I don't  want it to be right here like if I write type top   lifetime adjusted grosses like this I don't really  want it to be here I'd like it to be centered   above all these different columns and to do that  I need to merge these cells so I need to merge and   I can I don't have to actually delete this to do  this I'm going to select all these cells a through   F so I have a range A1 F1 and I'm going to go up  top to merge cells so merge will take cells and   put them to together and now I just have one cell  right here so I still below it I have individual   cells here but now this becomes its own cell now  I can align this differently too so if I go to   here again and I can see the alignment so I have  where do I want it well I want this centered here   so then it goes centered remember I can go into  format to do a lot of these things here too so   if I use the quick commands or format it will get  you to the same thing all right so what's another   formatting I can do well I want this to be a  larger font here so I have this cell selected   let's go to maybe a 14 just like that so I have  14 I'm going to bold it do I want a different font   um you know I think I'm going to leave this as is  with Ariel it's an easier easy font to read and   everything and I'll just leave it like that okay  so what's something else I can do here I want to   title all I want all these to be a different color  in the background so what I can do at this point   is I could do it cell by cell but I'm going to  select a range here and I want to I'm going to go   ahead and make them bold and I'm going to adjust  the columns in a moment here and the other thing   is I'm going to want a different color in the  background so I'm going to go ahead and choose   this green I'll choose this one so it's dark green  the font's not very good on this one not enough   contrast maybe I'll go to a white font just like  that so I made some adjustments uh what I'm going   to do now is make some changes to the column width  so I could drag them just like this to kind of get   them what I need remember I can just double click  like this and adjust them so I could go through   column by column if you want this to go away just  click those three little dots again and it will   close on it now this one needs to be adjusted  here so I'm going to adjust it adjust it just   like that and go through and yes this is looking  better I now I can do some more things do I want   to have borders around anything so what I mean by  that if I click on a cell do I want borders so if   I go and click all borders on this one cell now  I have you can see the borders which show up so   I just have that one cell remember you can select  your whole area so maybe if I go ahead and select   the range from this spot to this spot A3 to F12 I  could go and select a border and now I have them   all like this so that I can see them cell by cell  so depending you can change this the way you want   if I wanted to go back I have everything selected  maybe I just want it around the outside you can   select a different type maybe you want it dashed  or double double line on it so you can pick what   you want just by selecting all these different  options on your border you can have a different   border color if you would like to so you can go  and make all those different adjustments just   like that so remember there's no border showing  up if they don't want them so this one I don't   want that one by itself I can go to clear borders  just like that so some simple ways to add some add   some different looks to your data now the next  thing I want to point out is with these numbers   I would like it to be dollar signs not just not  without them like this either commas are good   so I can quickly make changes if I go and select a  cell I can hit format as currency and it just adds   it in notice that it added to the decimals here  if you don't want your decimals we can decrease   or increase here so if I decrease it by a couple  spots it goes away now I could I don't have to do   this cell by cell I could select them all and hit  the dollar sign another way I could do is if I go   to more formats you can see I can choose different  different way so if I wanted it all to be currency   then if I don't want the decimals to be there I  can decrease by a couple just like that so those   are some quick ways to add some formatting to this  I can add some rows I can make those adjustments   so you can go through now make it the way you want  before we start adding some other equations to   this to show the functionality of Google Sheets  so now what I want to show you is how you can   use formulas formulas make Google Sheets very  powerful let me create a brand new sheet at the   bottom just to kind of show you a little demo  here before we add any formula to this so I'm   going to hit add sheet now if we go ahead and  I'm just going to click in a cell and remember   I said if we put a number in a cell if I click  on it the cell it reflects up here so I'm just   going to hit delete but if I do a formula it's a  little different when we do a formula we always   need to start with an equal so equals and then  let's just do a simple equation let's go to Plus   two okay so just simple like that and I'm going to  hit enter and four yes that's pretty easy Google   Sheets can do mathematical equations it's very  easy for them so this says four but if I click   on this cell that's really not what's in the cell  what I wrote what I actually wrote in the cell is   equals two plus two so the equation uh the formula  is up here and if I go ahead and change this I   could make a change if I go to seven you can see  it adjusts I could change this if I don't want it   to be addition I could change this to subtraction  and we have the negative number we could change   this to multiplication which is this one right  here or we could change it to division so we   could easily go through and I click on just change  all these and you can see how it adjusts there I   do have a different video All About formulas and  functions in Google Sheets and I'll put a link to   that down below in the description and up above in  the card the other powerful thing is so I actually   wrote the numbers into this one right two and  seven what makes it really powerful if you can   actually subtract or do the different operations  on cells so what I mean is let's try this so this   is going to be uh where we're going to put our  formula here so this is going to be equal but   when I'm not going to put in a number I'm going  to put in a Cell so it's going to be this cell   and I'll just do an addition one plus this cell  I'm going to hit enter well it says zero B5 plus   C5 that's because these cells are blank watch  what happens when I put a number in here so if   I put 7 and then I'm going to put 9 and it's all  automatically adjusting so if these adjust again   so this is 8 this changes so this is the power  in spreadsheets what we can do with formulas   so for adding up columns or making any changes as  things change the formulas in place automatically   changed if the data changes okay let's go over  to sheet1 here and let's do a simple formula in   this one and what I want to do is actually I'm  going to add a column to here and I'm going to   I'm going to do a subtraction one this one minus  this one and I need it right here so to enter a   column I'm just going to click on D I'm going  to right click and insert column to the right   and there we go so I have my column and I could  give it a title and I'm just going to call this   I'll call this because it's just going to be the  difference and what do I want to have happen what   I want to have happen is I want this cell minus  this cell so I'm going to go ahead start with my   equal sign line in this one so I'm going to click  in here put my equals it's already suggesting uh   this thing that I'm looking for C3 minus D3 so I  could just go ahead and select this if I wanted to   and be correct but maybe it's suggesting something  different to you but if you didn't have that being   the right one you could just click on the first  one but your subtraction sign click on the next   one and hit enter now I like this autofill because  it's saying hey we can copy this down we think we   know what you're doing and we'll copy the formula  all the way down so this is correct and normally   I would use this but in this case for this demo  right now I'm not going to but do take advantage   of this suggested autofill I just want to show  you a couple different ways you can copy this   down so I'm just going to hit X here to reject it  now so this one C3 minus D3 I could go through to   this one and then put C4 minus D4 if I go to this  one and I just drag this blue square down to the   next one I want to point out it automatically  goes to C4 minus D4 and if I went to the next   one and click in here C5 minus D5 on it now the  quick way would be if I just double click two   on this blue square it will automatically  fill down you can see it copied the form   mat down because there was a line across the top  here but you can quickly format this if you want   you can select the area you could turn off your  uh take them off here and then if you want to   turn it back on you can just simply go ahead  and pick your bottom border to this one if it   had the top border on it and we could reformat it  like that so it did just copy that green line and   that's why you saw that going down so it was just  a little bit reformatting but so now I just want   to point out so copying the formula so creating  the formula is super powerful based on the cell   reference but copying it down even makes it more  powerful because remember if any of these numbers   change it automatically adapts so if I was going  here and I'm just going to add a big number here   I'll add another nine Watch What Happens as I  hit enter it adjusts very very quickly on it okay let's test out one more formula here and this  time I want to see what percentage of Lifetime   gross is to the adjusted lifetime growth so I'm  going to add another column to the right of D so   I'm just going to select this column right click  and insert column to the right and what do I want   to have happen in this formula I got to start with  my equals just like we do with every formula we   don't want this C3 minus D3 here we're going to  be using a division here so it's going to be this   cell D3 divide by this cell C3 so I'm going to  hit enter and it comes out as zero dollars and   you might be thinking it's a mistake well it's the  formatting is wrong on this one because we don't   want it in dollars we want this in percentage  and look at the shortcuts up here format as a   percent if I change it it goes to 10.8 percent  I can adjust the decimals on this if you wanted   it to be rounded up let's say to 11 percent if  that's the way you want it now I can copy this   down and remember it's going to do that same thing  because that green line is right above it so it   copies that down you could turn that off prior  if we don't want that and now if I go ahead and   just double click it fills in all the ones down  below so if I go ahead and I'm just going to go   put that one back on just like that and so I have  all these percentages here so I just wanted to   show you uh with the percentage here and changing  the format and copying it down so it's pretty easy   to put these these different formulas in but  what's really powerful is if you start to use   functions it can even speed things up and do more  for you I have a really quick tip for you before   we get to functions and that's using freeze what  freeze can do for you well I'll give you a little   example let's say this was getting longer and  longer and longer all the time if I had top 100   100 but I wanted to make sure if I was scrolling  down to be able to keep the column headings in   place so let's say if I was just clicking on this  number two and I go up to view notice that we can   free so let's go freeze up to row so up to two row  row two so I'll just select it and now if I was   scrolling down the title staying and this so if I  was going all the way down through hundreds then   I would make sure I'd remember what is uh going  to be the correct title of each column if I in   case I forgot you can do this with columns too so  if I was getting more and more and if I wanted to   freeze maybe the uh the front one here with the  title then I could do that the only issue with   this one right now since I merged this cell up  here it won't let me so I'd have to unmerge that   or delete it to have that work because that will  kind of wreck that freeze one with the column so   just look under view here the other thing I wanted  to point out we can do some show if you wanted   to show formulas here if I go click formulas it  shows where all the formulas are so it shows me   what exactly is in each cell so if you wanted to  find a cell where there's a formula versus just a   number or text you can go ahead and do that so  just a couple of quick things I just wanted to   show you you can go back and turn them off you can  see formula bar and grid lines if you don't want   these things on just click like that so I just  wanted to show you those things all right moving   on to functions and this functions are really  important to know about this is what to me is   makes the spreadsheets the most powerful thing  and you can do a lot with them and we're just   going to do some basic functions here so let's say  if I wanted to add up this column here and I could   do it the way I showed you so if I click down  in here in a Cell I could use my equal and then   I could say hey this I could use my plus oops not  my equal my addition and then click on make sure   I have the right words here and click on the next  one and add my addition again go to the next one   I go all the way down and I'd hit enter at the  end and it would add this up and that would be   fine but there's a better way to do this a much  quicker way and that's using the functions right   away if I put the equal sign in I can get to the  functions but I'm going to show you a different   way first the way I uh would show people at the  beginning you can insert functions and you can   do this in a couple different ways whenever I say  the word insert well you can look under insert and   you're going to find function you can see kind  of the icon for function and it has all these   different ones like some average count Max Min or  are kind of the common ones but it has all these   other functions that can do lots of great things  and in future videos I'll get into more you can   also I'm just going to click off of this if you go  to the shortcut it's up here there's that symbol   again and you get all them here so I can hit some  just like this and now at this point it's telling   me hey what do I want to select well I want to  select all this right through here and I select   it I hit enter and it just added everything up so  if I click on the cell it's just the sum of C3 to   C12 so that's a function that's doing that one I  don't have to go separately and I can still copy   these across so just like I showed you before  I can drag that that blue one that blue square   and move it across and it will go ahead and  copy it over and it will adjust so now it's   the sum of D3 to D12 right through there so very  simple uh to do that now a different way I could   do this I take a look at this so I could go do  some average count let's say I was going to do   average now I could click on average how I tend  to do this is use the equal sign and then right   away way it's already suggesting average right  there and it's already giving me an answer I   could start to start typing average if it wasn't  there and go find it and this was the right one   so I can just go ahead and select it and just like  that it's added so I can copy that over uh let's   take a look at some of the other options here  I'll just move down a little bit and what can   we go well let's try Max this time we want to find  the max number equals and then we start typing Max   and it gives me some suggestions I I could type A  and we'll go Max it's going to find the max value   of what well I need to select my range it's going  to be this range right through here I hit enter   and they're saying the max one is this one right  here so the 1.8 if I was going to go look for it   here there it is right at the top of course it's  already in order of it so just some things to   point out with functions take advantage of these  strikes copying them over take a look at all the   different once I would start with these ones  and see what it does and in future videos I'll   get further into all these great ones I can do  that can do so much more for it and make Google   Sheets a lot more powerful so now I want to show  you how you can quickly insert a chart with Google   Sheets based on the data you have and it's pretty  quick the way I like to do it is I like to select   what I want to graph first so here's an example  let's say I just wanted to graph the title and   I'm going to have this adjusted lifetime growth  so if I was going to I'm just going to highlight   all of that because that's what I want to graph  based on the name if I go to insert because I   want to insert this chart if I go to insert you  can see chart is right here you're going to find   it up also on the insert chart so you can do  it in a couple different ways so I'm going to   hit insert it comes up right away and it has the  numbers and everything right in here based on what   I selected now if we go over to the setup here  I'm just going to go move this over you can see   I could double click in other any other any area  here and I can start changing what I want through   here just by double clicking on it but we have  set up we have customization so the setup I kind   of already did it if I wanted the column chart I  can change what I want this to look like too so   do I want it to be a pie do I want it to be you go  through a line do I want it to be you can try all   these different ones all these different types of  columns take a look at different ones and seeing   what works the best what you want to show people  so if you get the one that you want I'm going to   leave this one here you can go to customize so  with customize you can go through everything   here with your background color you can start to  make those changes that does not look good so you   can change it to what you want and I'm not going  to go through all of these in detail I just want   to point out where everything is so as you click  on different things you'd be able to change it   you can see here is the title text do you want  that to be different you want the fonts to be   different the different Series in it on it so lots  of different things that you can go through and   it's going to be just clicking and checking with  any of these show access line you can see how it   added that now over to here so go through and play  and and see what looks good for you but let's say   I'm going to delete this here just to do another  one really quickly for you here's a little trick   if I wanted to do this right here the names and  I want to have the number of tickets if I hold   control down on my keyboard and highlight this now  I've I've selected two different columns there now   I can go insert my chart and now it's going to  be based on estimated number of tickets on it so   just by selecting those two different ones I could  do this I could change it in here here's the data   range right in here so if I select data range you  can see I could have went through and just select   one data range at the time and put them in here  also I just want to point out different ones how   you can change it so I just some tips with your  charting so go and play with it see what types   of charts you can create I want to move over to  now into Printing and sharing your Google Sheets so let's say you want to print out this Google  Sheets now I want to show you how you can do   that I also want to show you how you can share it  whether it be in a PDF or turn it into Microsoft   Excel document okay so let's just talk basic  protein and to begin with I'm just going to   actually select an area you don't have to but  I'll show you why I am selecting an area now if   I go up to print right here you can see control  P I can also go to file in print you can use the   shortcut now if I go and change this right here  the reason why I had something selected because   that shows up in what I want to print so if  I go to my selection what's going to happen   is it's just going to print that selection there  I can choose my paper size do I want this to be   in landscape or portrait you can change that and  you can change how you want to scale this do you   want to scale to width or do you want to keep it  at the actual size so a lot of times I scale uh   about to fit widths just so it fits to the best it  can across do you want different different margins   showing up and you can go through and adjust  different ones so if I go to formatting you   can see do you want to show grid lines or not show  notes a different alignment you want it centered   do you want it vertically do you want it at the  bottom so you can make all these changes to see   how you want it on paper so when you get through  all your settings and you choose what you want I'm   going to leave it at selected you would just hit  the next up top and at this point this is where   it's going to go to it's where you select your  printer and you want all pages now I only have   one page here how many copies and there's even  more settings here that you can change through   here I do want to point out so if you didn't want  to print to the printer you can actually save it   as a PDF at this point so it'll turn it into a PDF  and I'm not going to hit print but if you wanted   to you could I'm going to hit can pencil I want  to point out if we go up to file and then I take   a look at download notice I can go PDF here so  I could download this as a PDF right here and I   will convert it into that it will also download as  a Microsoft Excel file so if I wanted to make sure   that you know so if someone else was using Excel  if I downloaded as Excel then they would be able   to open it up in Excel too so you can download  it there take a look at the different options   that you have to download it okay let's say you're  working with other people I haven't really talked   about it yet but it's kind of what it makes Google  so efficient with collaborating with whether it be   with Google Docs lights and other things we can  share this so we can go up to share and at this   point we can add other people so if I wanted to  add other people maybe I'll add my other email   and then now I could set notify the people and if  I don't want them to get notified to turn them off   do I want them to have editor or do I just want  them to viewer I view it do I want them to be able   to change it if I want them to work with me well  I would leave it as editor if I don't want them   to change it and just look at it I would turn it  to viewer so then I could go ahead and send or I   could copy link and send it in an email to or put  it somewhere else where they could click on it but   people would have to have the right privileges so  just go ahead and hit send and that's how easy it   is to share and then you can work together at  the same time editing your sheets so go ahead   try those couple things and remember all this is  going to be in your Google Drive if I go back to   my tab over here here it is here and all those  different things from sharing you can go from at   this point too that I just pointed out so this was  just a beginner's Google Sheets tutorial there's   so much more it can do I just just wanted to  get you playing around with it starting to   feel comfortable what things will do in it I will  have a lot more tutorials coming out with Google   Sheets uh check Below in the description  too I'll add the links there too thanks   for watching this time on teachers Tech I'll see  you next time with more Tech tips and tutorials
