How to Square in a Spreadsheet
- 1). Click your spreadsheet software with a desktop shortcut or access it from the "Start" menu to open it.
- 2). Insert a number in the cell A1 of the spreadsheet.
- 3). Type the formula "=A1^2" in the cell next to it. This formula will calculate the square of the number entered in cell A1. Let's assume that you entered "5" in cell A1, then the next cell will display "25."
