Getting started guide


With Google Spreadsheets, you can easily create, share, and edit spreadsheets online. Here are a few specific things you can do:

  • Import and export these file types: .xls, .csv, .txt and .ods. You can also export data to a PDF or an HTML file.
  • Format your cells and edit formulas so you can calculate results and make your data look the way you want it.
  • Chat in real time with others who are editing your spreadsheet.
  • Embed a spreadsheet, or a section of a spreadsheet, in your blog or website.

Read this guide to familiarize yourself with the main features of Google Spreadsheets and get started creating your own.

To start using Google Spreadsheets, simply sign in with your Google Account. (If you use Gmail, you already have an account.)
