Google Docs Spreadsheet - Basic

To add a column of numbers in Google docs spreadsheets relax and just follow a few easy steps.

type a column of numbers

when you are finished place your cursor in the cell you want the sum to appear in

At the top right side of the spreadsheet window is a row of functions - click sum, then place your cursor in the cell with the first number and hold and drag to cover the column of numbers. The range will appear in your formula cell

If you have this the way you want it click enter (until you click enter nothing will happen)

the same process works for average and the other functions listed there.

If you click “more” you will see a list of available functions

If you are done click save and give your spreadsheet a title

Yay you! You have created your first Google doc spreadsheet!
