Google Sheets Workshop: Share and protect your spreadsheets, rather than attachment to emails to get the data you want
6/15/2018 10:00am-12:00pm (Friday)
If you work with data, check out Google Sheets. With it, you can set up filter views to see only some rows without affecting others’ views or you can use new suggested Pivot tables (or create your own) to see combinations of your data. Sheets has many features you know from Excel: “auto fit” all columns in one click; auto fill data; use formulas like Sum, Average, CountA, and many more; freeze rows/columns; and lock or protect ranges. Sheets has unique features, too: be notified via email when changes are made, and, best of all, work on the spreadsheet yourself or collaboratively with others. This in-person workshop is in the Melville Library.
