each slide, but also the transitions between them, with the aim of making our presentation more
interesting.

As with Docs, Google also offers us a series of Templates that we can use for free, as well as intelligent
Themes that are suggested to us depending on whether they fit more or less with the style we are
using for our presentation.

It shares with Docs and the rest of the Google suite the cloud storage and the ability to edit and consult
from any device, as well as sharing the document with our colleagues (or, for example, with a given
client) so that they can edit it in real time, and we can see the changes being made in real time.

And last but not least, we would like to talk a little bit about Google Sheets. This program works in a
similar way as Microsoft Excel, creating spreadsheets that can have multiple purposes, as it can be
used as a way to organize and monitor all kinds of issues related to a business, from the balance sheet
of income and expenses, to the performance of employees, the customer portfolio or the growth
forecast for the next year.

In the following screenshot we can check the interface of the program:

Its functionality, again, is similar to Microsoft's payment alternative. We can use several pages within
a spreadsheet to organize and automate what we are doing. The main strength of spreadsheets is the
ability to include formulas that relate values from different cells. These formulas not only have to be
numerical but can be used to automate processes.

A good use of Sheets has the capacity to save us time and effort, since, using the correct formulas, we
will be able to systematize our information to obtain the desired feedback, with the possibility, in
addition, of automatically generating graphs and tables that summarize the results of our requests.

It is undoubtedly the most demanding of the programmes presented in this module, and its use by the
general public is also somewhat reduced. However, without extensive knowledge of it, we can take
advantage of its functions to organise the information we want. Even so, it is highly advisable to learn
how to use its most basic functions, as it can be very useful and save us time and money thanks to its
ability to synthesise information.
