Rows are identified by numbers. Row 9 is selected in this example. 5. CellEach rectangle in a spreadsheet is called a cell. A cell is the intersection of a row and a column. Click to select a cell. Cell A1 is selected in this example. 6. ColumnA column is a group of cells that runs vertically from top to bottom. Columns are identified by letters. Column C is selected in this example. 7.

Mathematical operatorsGoogle Sheets uses standard operators for formulas: a plus sign for addition (+), minus sign for subtraction (-), asterisk for multiplication (*), forward slash for division (/), and caret (^) for exponents. All formulas must begin with an equals sign (=). This is because the cell contains—or is equal to—the formula and the value it calculates. Using cell referencesWhen a formula contains a cell address, it is using a cell reference. Creating a formula with cell references is useful because you can update the numerical values in cells without having to rewrite the formula. By combining a mathematical operator with cell references, you can create a variety of simple formulas in Google Sheets. Formulas can also include a combination of a cell reference and a number. Creating formulasIn our example, we'll use simple formulas and cell references to help calculate a budget. To create a formula:

  1. Select the cell that will display the calculated value.
  2. Type the equals sign (=).
  3. Type the cell address of the cell you want to reference first in the formula. A dotted border will appear around the cell being referenced.
  4. Type the operator you want to use. For example, type the addition sign (+).
  5. Type the cell address of the cell you want to reference second in the formula.
  6. Press the Enter key on your keyboard. The formula calculates, and Google Sheets displays the result.
To see how the formula recalculates, try changing the value in either cell. The formula automatically displays the new value. Google Sheets will not always tell you if your formula contains an error, so it's up to you to check all of your formulas.
