Learn how to use Spreadsheet Tables!
Learning how to use a spreadsheet app is an important part of your business, but this tutorial doesn’t cover spreadsheet basics. Instead, I cover how to format parts of a spreadsheet as a “table”.
Spreadsheet tables can be super helpful to mompreneurs. For example, you can do order tracking. With a click of a button in your table, you can make it only show the orders which aren’t yet finished.
And best of all: You can get a spreadsheet app FOR FREE!
How to get a spreadsheet app
If you followed my bootcamp, you may remember Day 4:
With a free Outlook email address, you can use Microsoft Excel. Even if you’re using Gmail for communication, you should also create an Outlook email address for your business. Here is why:
- Prevent someone else from taking it and pretending to be you
- So you can get Excel for free!
Yes, Google provides “Google Sheets” as a spreadsheet app for free. But I couldn’t find a way to create a table there.
Which Device?
Which kind of device will you be using the spreadsheet app on? (Note: I think it’s much easier on a computer)
