Arkusze Google. Ćwiczenia praktyczne

Krzysztof Masłowski

Policz to szybko i sprawnie Arkusze Google są sieciowym odpowiednikiem Excela, programu szeroko rozpowszechnionego, nauczanego w szkołach i stosowanego w wielu firmach i urzędach. Dlatego ich twórcy starali się stworzyć środowisko pracy możliwie najdokładniej imitujące narzędzia Excela. Zadbali także o zgodność z formatem Excela - dlatego Arkusze potrafią odczytywać i zapisywać pliki w excelowych formatach .xls i .xlsx. Jest to niezwykle wygodne, pozwala bowiem dość swobodnie poruszać się między produktami Google i Microsoftu. W porównaniu z Excelem, Arkusze Google są prostsze i równocześnie trudniejsze w obsłudze. Nie ma w tym sprzeczności – Arkusz Google jest po prostu nieco inny, można go np. współdzielić z wieloma użytkownikami sieci, w łatwy sposób sprawdzić kto i jakiej zmiany w nim dokonał, realizowane w Arkuszu operacje zapisują się na bieżąco itd. Jakie jeszcze możliwości – ale i ograniczenia – ma Arkusz Google w porównaniu z plikiem Excela? Tego dowiesz się pracując z niniejszym, czysto praktycznym zeszytem ćwiczeń.
