There are hundreds of potential formulas you can work with, making Google Sheets a powerful tool. Simply put, a formula performs some sort of calculation on the contents of one or more cells. When properly formatted, a formula always begins with an equals sign, is followed by a function (which tells the formula what to do), and you typically need to specify one or more cells for the function to act on within a set of parentheses. <h2>How to create Google Sheets formulas on a computer</h2>1. Open <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/">Google Sheets</a> in a web browser and click the cell in which you want the formula's answer to appear. 2.
