Enter a name for your workbook, and hit the Enter button on your keyboard:

Google Sheets has columns and rows, similar to a squared math exercise book.

Do not worry if the functionality looks overwhelming at first. You will get comfortable as you learn more in the chapters to come.

For now focus on the rows, columns, and the cells.

Ok. Let's make a function!

• First, click the cellA1, the one that is marked with the blue rectangle in the picture
• Second, type=1+1.
• Third, hit theEnter button:

=1+1
