What is a sheet?

A sheet is the same as Table. It is a collection of columns and rows. You can think of it as a data table.

What is a row?

The row is the record in the data table, composed of as many cells as there are columns in the data table. It stores the information entered by the user.

How to create a new row

Creating a new row is extremely easy. You just need to click on the "+" button located in the bottom left corner of the sheet.



What is a column?

The columns can be of different types. Depending on them you determine the type of cell contents in the respective column.
