Comprehensive Guide to Editing Formulas in Google Sheets

This guide will walk you through the process of editing formulas in Google Sheets. You will learn how to access and modify formulas within a spreadsheet, specifically using a profit and loss statement example. By the end of this guide, you will be able to confidently edit formulas in your Google Sheets.

To start, let’s take a look at the sample spreadsheet we will be working with, which contains a profit and loss statement for a clothing company.

In order to edit a formula, you need to access the cell containing the formula. This is done by double-clicking on the cell.

Once you double-click the cell, the formula will be displayed. For example, if the original formula sums the cells from D2 to D10 and you want to change it to sum from D2 to D9, simply edit the formula accordingly.

After editing the formula, press Enter to apply the changes. The cell will now display the sum of the cells from D2 to D9 instead of D2 to D10.

You have now learned how to edit formulas in Google Sheets. By following these steps and referring to the provided screenshots, you can successfully modify formulas in your own spreadsheets, making it easier to manage your data effectively.
