2. Formatting and Styling:
Conditional Formatting: Highlight cells based on specific criteria (e.g., greater than, less than, contains text) for visual emphasis.
Custom Number Formats: Create unique number formats (e.g., currency, percentages, custom date formats) to suit your needs.
3. Advanced Formulas:
ARRAYFORMULA: Perform calculations on entire ranges of data without manually copying formulas.
FILTER: Extract data based on conditions, creating dynamic subsets of your data.
VLOOKUP/HLOOKUP: Search for values in a table and retrieve corresponding information.

Real-Time Collaboration: Work simultaneously with others on the same spreadsheet, making it ideal for team projects.
Version History: Track changes and revert to previous versions if needed.
Sharing Settings: Control who can view, edit, or comment on your spreadsheet.
5. Productivity Tips:
Keyboard Shortcuts: Learn essential shortcuts (e.g., Ctrl+B for bold, Ctrl+C for copy, Ctrl+V for paste) to speed up your workflow.
Add-ons: Extend Sheets' functionality with add-ons for tasks like data analysis, visualization, and integration with other apps.
Freezing Panes: Keep specific rows or columns visible while scrolling, making it easier to reference data.
