Businesses have been growing enormously for the past two decades and they will keep growing in the near future. As the Business grows, so their data too. And in order to make a business successful, the statistics have to be right and precise enough to chalk out the future statistics to be safe in the market.





The question arises...how this can be done??? How the data can be made precise and informative in order to support future needs???





If you are also looking for answers to question like this then you have landed at the right place…!!!





To become a pro in Google Spreadsheet and play with numbers and generate precise statistics one should be well-versed with the basics. So before anyone jumps into the advanced hacks one should be aware of the must-know formulas which cater to the needs and helps in overall functioning.





These formulas help you to get the desired output if you are able to use the right formula at the right time.





These must-know formulas are listed below:

COUNTIF() Function

Updating Current Date with TODAY() Formula

TEXT() to Convert Numbers into Currency Format

Dividing Data into Multiple Cells Using SPLIT()

SEARCH() Function to Check Value in a String

Appending Multiple Cells using CONCATENATE()

Vertical Lookup with VLOOKUP() Function

IF() Function to Check the Condition of a Logical Expression

Returning the Cell Error Value by IFERROR()

IMPORTRANGE() for Importing a Range of Cells

ARRAYFORMULA() to Enable the Display of Values Returned from an Array Formula





The above formulas can cater to one’s basic requirements for a desired output. However, in large organizations, these basic formulas are only used collectively for obtaining a desired result.





One should be aware of at least these above formulas in Google Spreadsheet for easy evaluation of data in Sheets.





Hope these will be effective and informative….
