Hello, Gino from MURAL here, and welcome to the most exciting minute and a half of your day today. That's right. Today we're talking spreadsheets. Now, while spreadsheets might not actually be the most exciting thing in the world, they can be extremely beneficial on a day to day basis.

What I'm here to talk about is a nice shortcut we have from getting your information from a spreadsheet to a mural. Now, I've got this nice blank mural here that I want to add cells from my spreadsheet to, I'm simply going to go to that spreadsheet. This is a Google Sheet, very important business spreadsheet with the foods I would eat foods I wouldn't eat, things that are green, and things that are clean. 

Now all I'm going to do is just grab all of that information and do a simple Command C or if you're on a Windows computer, Ctrl C, head back to my mural, Command V or Ctrl V, and you can see they all keep their same shape. So if I wanted to, I could simply bold all of these as well. So that way they could all show up just like the headers of my spreadsheet. Now, take this information do with it, what you will hopefully use it for good and not for evil. But that is how you get information from your spreadsheets to your mural.
