Welcome to Module 4: Basic formulas, functions and charts. Formulas and functions allow you to make quick calculations and better use of your data. Google Sheets supports many of the formulas found in other spreadsheet applications. In this module, we'll cover how to create a basic formula using functions named ranges in reference data. You'll also learn how to create a chart, and we'll learn about Google Explore, a powerful tool that can be used to answer questions and make suggestions based on insights gained from your data. You can perform many different types of calculations by using functions to create formulas in Google sheets. There are hundreds of functions in sheets that can be used to create formulas to execute all sorts of calculations and manipulate data.
