5m 3sUse Google Sheets formulas to calculate how much it will cost to pay back a loan. For example, use the PMT function to calculate the total payment per period. To get more details on the interest you will pay in a specific period, use the IPMT function. Lastly, you can also use the PPMT function to know how much you will reimburse in a specific period.

5m 30sIt is not difficult to calculate loan payment information in Google Sheets. By using formulas to calculate these values, you can change constants without having to worry about updating cells that reference them. You can then use autofill to quickly apply the formulas to more than one cell. Google Sheets allows you to take things one step further and compare two loan types and choose the one that is right for you. FREE ACCESS

3m 26sCombining the SUMPRODUCT and COUNTIF functions in Google Sheets can identify identical values in your spreadsheet. These two functions are used to count unique values within a table and duplicate values if two data ranges from different tables are compared. This can be very useful if you need to tidy up your data tables and remove duplicates. FREE ACCESS
-
4m 31sThe COUNTA function will return the number of non-empty cells in a data range. If you combine this calculation with the SUMPRODUCT and COUNTIF functions in Google Sheets, you can obtain the number of different values in a range. This data can then be used to work out the number of duplicates that your data table contains. FREE ACCESS

3m 7sIf you have a lot of data in your spreadsheet, and you are worried about duplicate entries, you can use Google Sheets formulas to locate them for you. You can use the UNIQUE function and the Remove duplicates tool to clean your data. FREE ACCESS
-
3m 18sIf you want to be sure that users only enter unique values in your data table, you can tell Google Sheets to block duplicates and display an error message. To do this, you will need to know how to use the data validation tools. FREE ACCESS
-
5m 34sIf you have a complex table containing a large number of different data types, you can use the Google Sheets database formulas to extract the information you need. You will find functions such as DGET, DMIN, and DMAX very helpful when it comes to analyzing your data. FREE ACCESS
-
4m 59sTables created in Google Sheets can be used as simplified databases. You can use functions such as DSUM, DAVERAGE, DSTDEV, and DSTDEVP to analyze the data found in your spreadsheet. FREE ACCESS
-
5m 31sYou can use the LOOKUP function to find a value in a double-entry table that you have created in Google Sheets. You can, for example, use it to find a customer's address based on their last name. You can also use the INDEX formula to return a particular value in a table if you know its row and column coordinates, and use the MATCH function to find a position of an item. FREE ACCESS
-
3m 39sIn Google Sheets, you can use a calculation combining the IF and VLOOKUP functions to search for a value in two separate data tables. This is very useful if you want to consult multiple data sources and use them to automatically complete a summary table. FREE ACCESS
