Whether you’re looking to throw together a quick financial spreadsheet or you want to work together with a co-worker on an Excel-like document, Google Sheets is a great, web-based, and free alternative to Excel, an app used by millions around the country to load data into a document, view and share it, and use math to track specific content with a spreadsheet.
One of the most useful aspects of spreadsheet programs is how flexible they are. A spreadsheet can serve as a database, as a calculation engine, as a platform on which to do statistical modeling, as a text editor, as a media library, as a to-do list, and on and on. The possibilities are nearly endless. One particularly common use for spreadsheets, including Google Sheets, is for tracking time such as hourly employee time schedules or billable hours.
