One of the most useful tools in Google’s free online office suite is Google Sheets. It’s an online spreadsheet program that is easy to learn. It’s also a lot cheaper than Microsoft Excel, and includes some features that Excel doesn’t have. The Google Sheets Cheat Sheet lets you quickly access examples, browse a list of Google Sheets features/icons, or identify Google Sheets shortcuts. It’s described below. You can order a printed copy on the Cheat Sheets Store. It’s also possible to download the PDF edition of the guide.
