In GeoGebra’s Spreadsheet View every cell has a specific name that allows you to directly address each cell. For example, the cell in column A and row 1 is named A1.

Note: These cell names can be used in expressions and commands in order to address the content of the corresponding cell.

In the spreadsheet cells you can enter not only numbers, but all types of General and Geometrical Objects that are supported by GeoGebra (e. g., coordinates of points, functions, commands). If possible, GeoGebra immediately displays the graphical representation of the object you entered in a spreadsheet cell in the Graphics View as well. Thereby, the name of the object matches the name of the spreadsheet cell used to initially create it (e. g., A5, C1).

Note: By default, spreadsheet objects are classified as auxiliary objects in the Algebra View. You can show or hide these auxiliary objects by selecting "Auxiliary Objects" from the View Menu.

Relative cell names

By default, if you copy content from one cell to another, all references are changed accordingly to the target position.

Example: Let A1=1,A2=2. In B1 put (A1,A1). By copying B1 to B2 (either via Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V or by dragging the cell corner) you get (A2,A2) in B2.

To prevent this behaviour, you can insert $ before the column and/or row of the referenced cell.

Note: On Mac the copy & paste shortcuts are Cmd + C and Cmd + V

Getting data into the spreadsheet

Besides manually adding entries to the spreadsheet, you may use FillCoumn, FillRow or FillCells Command. Also see section tracing to spreadsheet.

Using spreadsheet data in other views

You may process the spreadsheet data by selecting multiple cells, right-clicking and choosing an item from the "Create" submenu of appearing Context Menu.
