Create a Spreadsheet and Graph
1. Create a new spreadsheet in by choosing File -> New -> Spreadsheet

2. Name your spreadsheet and save it. Your spreadsheet will be about adolescent drug use, if you wish to reference that fact in the name you give it.

3. That little bar going across after the first line of the spreadsheet allows you to use the first set of boxes as a **header row**. This allows you to create titles for your data that will be unaffected if you sort your data, and will generally be automatically plugged into graphs.

4. Enter the following data into the spreadsheet in two columns: "drug" and "# of users".

Number of adolescents 12 - 17 who used a drug, per day: Cigarettes: 1,245,240 Alcohol: 630,539 Marijuana: 586,454 Inhalants: 49,263 Hallucinogens: 26,645 Cocaine: 13,125 Heroin: 3,753

5. Select the data by clicking in one corner of the data and dragging to the other corner.

6. Now click on that little icon between "wrap text" and "merge across." This will allow you to add graphs, charts, and gadgets. Start by creating a pie chart, which will allow you to see the relative percentage of total drug use for each drug. Try clicking on parts of the pie chart after you've made it.

7. Add a second graph or a gadget. Drag both to a place where they don't cover up each other or your data.

Congratulations! You've made a spreadsheet.
