If something goes wrong
- I do not have a Google account.
- Use any spreadsheet or document tool you already have, or paper. The exercises do not depend on one product.
- A formula shows an error.
- Check that it starts with = and that every bracket closes. Click the cell to read the message.
- My changes are not saved.
- Check your connection. Sheets saves as you type and shows a status near the title.
Leaving it
- There is nothing to uninstall. To remove a file, move it to the bin in Google Drive.
