Google Sheets function

The most popular and widely used option when it comes to Spreadsheet worksheets is Microsoft Excel. The Microsoft Spreadsheet program has exceptional features that help finish every activity or piece of work involving numbers, graphs, and various types of data fast and effectively. 

But be aware that Google is also creating a spreadsheet tool that is just as advanced as Microsoft's. Google introduced the tool, dubbed Google Sheets, fourteen years ago. Google Sheets is used online by accessing Google Drive's Cloud Storage, in contrast to Microsoft Excel, which can only be used offline. See the complete knowledge and explanation of Google Sheets below if you want to learn more.

 

Definition

A web-based spreadsheet tool owned by Google, Google Sheets is a component of G Suite. Google Labs Spreadsheets created this software on March 9, 2006, using the JavaScript programming language. Google Sheets was previously known as XL2Web, which was created by 2Web Technologies and eventually purchased by Google in 2006.

You can use a variety of browsers, including Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Apple Safari, and others, to access Google Sheets and the other G Suite products (Google Docs, Google Slides, and Google Forms). In addition, users may access Google Sheets from a variety of platforms, including Android, iOS, and desktop mobile applications on Chrome OS. Google Sheets is also integrated with Dropbox in addition to Google Drive (Third-party).

In order to combine these collaborative programs with users of all Google accounts, Google also purchased a number of programs in 2010. As a result, Google Sheets is now an application that can be used to collaborate on tasks and projects and is integrated with other programs. Additionally, even if users use various spreadsheet programs, it is simpler for them to open documents. Users can download file types that support Microsoft Excel when working with Google Sheets.

Functions and Benefits of Google Sheets 

1.     Used to process data

Similar to Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets can be used to process data, sort data, and work with data in tabular form. Google Sheets can be used in businesses to handle information like sales reports, financial reports, accounts receivable reports, and similar reports. Spreadsheet tools like Google Sheets are still an option, despite the fact that they have been superseded by software.

The storage base used is the single fundamental distinction between Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel. Microsoft Excel is primarily used offline, while Google Sheets is more concerned with integrating internet storage (Cloud Storage) (though Cloud Storage from OneDrive is also currently available).

2.     Perform numerical calculations

Google Sheets may be used to process data as well as conduct mathematical operations as addition, subtraction, division, multiplication, average, and so forth. Such computations are, of course, crucial when creating financial statements. Users must comprehend Google Sheets calculation algorithms in order to do that in order to calculate numbers based on columns and rows.

3.     Creating Graphs and Diagrams

Another benefit of Google Sheets is that users may create graphs or even diagrams using already-created data. When performing an analysis of the price and profitability of a certain company over a number of months, this function will be extremely useful. Or it might be used to conduct research on a variety of educational topics so that a particular piece of evidence can be presented.
