    • In depth article on freeCodeCamp

    Google Sheets has over 500 built in functions you can use out of the box, but sometimes it can be helpful to create a custom one. Instead of manually typing it out every time you need it, you can create a custom named function. It's a pretty straightforward process, and I hope you find this useful!

    In our business, we use spreadsheets for a lot of our inventory management and ordering. We needed a way to prevent human errors in one of our order forms, and were able to do this by combining data validation and conditional formatting.

    This episode is an overview of the use cases for this and the ways to save time and errors in the process.
