Chapter 5: Managing Data with Filters, Sorts, and Conditional Formatting

Introduction: In this chapter, we will explore powerful data management features in Google Sheets that help you efficiently analyze and visualize your data. We will learn how to use filters to display specific information, sorting to organize data, and conditional formatting to highlight important insights. These tools will make it easier to work with large datasets and draw valuable conclusions from your data. Section 1: Sorting Data in Ascending or Descending Order Sorting data is a fundamental operation in data analysis, allowing you to arrange information based on specific criteria.
