If you have ever typed “SUM” into a cell in Google Sheets, then you’re probably familiar with how frustrating it can be to keep typing the same formula. Today’s blog post is going to cover what you can do to make adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing your data much easier and more efficient! What Does Rounding Mean in Google Sheets?
To understand the concept of rounding in Google Sheets, I’ve created a little Venn Diagram that gives an overview on how to interpret both the “Full Formula” and the “Dollar Sign” versions of a multiplication.
But before we tackle this stuff, let’s start off with a brief review: The word “round” can mean two different things when dealing with numbers. Either rounding up or rounding down
What is a Number in Google Sheets?
Numbers are created in Google Sheets by moving up a row on the spreadsheet, changing the first cell to match an alphabet value, and continuing down from there. Numbers can also be created by filling cells with other numbers like 1, 2, and 3. If a cell remains empty for too long, it
will show as zero by itself. There are many possible ways to make use of the numbers in your worksheet. It can be used for practical things such as discounts, expenses, wages, annuities and percentages of sales (for example, 25% deposit of 50% deposit) or anything that you like.
The key point is that numbers are general for all languages ; there’s no need to translate them; one just have to change font-family and some other basic settings.
Summing Numbers
To sum cells or matrixes in Google Sheets, you’ll want to follow these easy steps: Open the document that is being summed up, click the “Product Sheet” tab on the new Spreadsheet menu, and apply a filter. For example, you can sum the customers or all of your products in items in a spreadsheet.

Displaying the Sum of Numbers
Google Sheets includes a very handy Sumplate command. It quickly sums up the numbers found in text labels, cells, or matrices. The SIMPLER function is also available which lets you add multiple columns with the same function before lining it all up neatly. A few other functions I use and recommend are:
SUMPRODUCT. This helper function contains a really versatile option for summing lots of numbers together (especially when you need to fill the cells within a title). Sometimes you end up needing this in most fields within your spreadsheets, best not to miss it. If you’re unsure how to write the formula, Google Sheets will take care of that for us which is always a blessing. Invest in Wordart
Finding and Summing Cells
If you have a list of items in a data set, it is sometimes helpful to sum the items that are within a certain range, as this will allow you to see the total amount. For instance, if you want to know the total of all salaries in your company, including six figures and below, finding and summing cells would be very useful for gathering this data.
To find cells within two ranges in one step, use the A1 or C1 reference cell as an intermediary by filling it with text and then using it as an array:
Warning: The examples shown here work best with 16 unit spreadsheets. Since Google Sheets has changed many times since version 11 started to release, some of these instructions may not work anymore.

Displaying the Sum of Cells
Most people know how to add numbers together, but that is not always true when you are working with cells. When adding cells, sometimes if you don’t do it right certain errors might occur. Whilst writing every cell one by one before doing the addition may seem tedious, doing it in batches might make things easier.
Learning from examples
Everyone has different strengths and weaknesses when it comes to learning new concepts. Some of us are good at coming up with questions and examples, others see a question and find themselves some already solved solution. If you learn by replication of the answers given then this can be a waste of time because you will still have not got to grips with information that only
