Automatically create a series or list - Computer (2024)

FAQs

How do you automatically create a series or list in Google Sheets? ›

Use autofill to complete a series

Highlight the cells. You'll see a small blue box in the lower right corner. Drag the blue box any number of cells down or across. If the cells form a series of dates or numbers, the series will continue across the selected cells.

To add a line to your bar graph, thereby creating a combo chart, you need to select which data you want to be represented with the line. To do so, in the chart editor panel, under Series, click on “Add series” to select the data to be represented with a line.

How do I add automatic numbering in Google Sheets? You can use a formula like =ARRAYFORMULA(ROW(A:A)) in a cell (let's say in cell A1) to number rows automatically. This formula creates a series of sequential numbers for each row in column A.

When you use your Google Forms data to create a new sheet, Google Sheets automatically puts your data in a table, bringing format and structure to your data.

Select the “Status” cell. Then go to the filter view menu, select “Create group by view”, then click “Status”. This creates a table and automatically groups the data by the different statuses.

To use it, simply click on the cell where you want the sum to appear, then press Alt + = (Windows) or Command + Shift + T (Mac). Google Sheets will automatically add up all the numbers in the column or row, and display the sum in the selected cell.

Automating Data Transfer from Google Forms to Google Sheets

Create your Google Form and customize it as needed. Click on the "Responses" tab at the top of the form editor. Click on the green Google Sheets icon to create a new spreadsheet or select an existing one to store the form responses.
