hi welcome to zo stack in this video we'll discuss basics of spreadsheet and we will create a simple invoice in Google sheets using formulas and formatting Google sheets is a powerful free online spreadsheet software the spreadsheet is used for analysis and storage of data in tables in simple words high spreadsheet as a grid made up of rows and columns into which information can be entered each row is identified by a row number which runs vertically at the left side of the sheet each column is identified alphabetically which runs horizontally at the top of the sheet the intersection of rows and columns is called cell the cell is identified with the combination of column header and row number for example cell a1 is the cell on column a and Row 1 cell e4 is the cell on column E and Row 4 now let's create a spreadsheet using Google sheets go to drive.google.com for this you will need to have a Google account if you don't have one you can create it for free it will only take a few moment in the Google Drive click plus and new on the top left and select Google sheets it will create a blank spreadsheet another cool shortcut to create a new spreadsheet in Google sheets is to write sheets dot new in the browser and it will create a new spreadsheet for you name the spreadsheet in the top left corner we will make a simple invoice so let's name it my new invoice the basic invoice will have a serial number item description quantity price and row total so let's start with writing these headings on the first row for serial number we can write SN for sure item description can be written as just description quantity can be written as cute why in shot low total can be called among for better understanding you can resize the column and rows by clicking and dragging how are the mouse pointer between the column or rows indexes and the mouse pointer will change to the bar with double arrows dragging the bar left right or up and down will change the size to make multiple columns and rows the same size you can select them all and resize so now as we are done with the headings will fill the invoice details pretend we are a fruit seller so let's create an invoice for some healthy and delicious fruits Cl number one will be five boxes of strawberries each for four dollars in the description we'll give a short and precise description for the product such as strawberries 1 lb box serial number 2 will be 7 golden apples for $0.99 each note that for $0.99 will write 0.99 as we are doing calculations in dollars next instead of writing serial number one by one we can drag the sequence and the Google sheet will automatically fill it highlight the two cells having serial number one and two by selecting them drag the quickfix handle which is a small square note that the mouse cursor will show a plus sign when you hover over it drag till the next three cells so that we have five serial numbers now we'll add a few more items twelve bananas for $0.50 each six oranges for 40 cents each and three boxes of cherries for four dollars note that we are not writing anything on the amount column as we want to apply formulas so Google sheets can automatically fill this information the amount is calculated simply by multiplying the price with quantity so instead of amount we'll ask Google sheets to multiply these two cells every formula starts with an equal sign to multiply the corresponding cells we'll type the name of the cells and we'll put and static between them as the static is used for multiplications in computer another tip is that we can just click on these cells and the name will be automatically entered using this formula you can do simple calculations such as plus for addition minus for subscription and for division we can use the forward slash to apply the formula we just created to the rest of the cells simply select itself and drag the quickfix handle to the remaining cells the most important part of any invoice is total amount for that we'll use some formula which will automatically calculate the total for us for this we'll have to give a range of cells that need to be added using the formula is very simple equal signs type sum and range of the cells in bracket for providing the range of cells give the first cell column sign and last cell you can also select the cells and click the function and sum from the menu there are other common functions such as average count minimum and maximum now as we have created the basic invoice let's change some style to make it more attractive you can select the whole sheet by clicking the top left corner let's change the font to Georgia and font size to 12 in the menu you will see the name of the font default is Arial and the default font size is 10 select the whole column or row by clicking the index to entice tone aim and details we need to add some rows on the top select the top row right click and select insert 1 above to add multiple rows at once select multiple rows similarly you can also delete and clear rows and columns write the name of the store on the top new row let's name it ABC organic store change the font size to 18 the name of the store is spanning over multiple columns if we resize the first column it will resize the serial numbers as it's the same column 2 accommodate the shop name will merge the cells select the cells you want to merge and click the merge cells button from the menu to align it in the center you can choose horizontal alignment from the menu to the center similarly you can also use vertical alignments we can use colors to make the invoice more beautiful we can change the color of text and cells select the cells look for the a with the color bar on the bottom to apply the text color similarly use the color bucket from the menu to change the cell color you can make the total amount bold to make it look more important you can also try italic and strikethrough if needed look for the B in the menu
