You may have tried searching through the menus to find that option, but it simply isn\u2019t there. Fortunately, this doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t do it, as there are at least four ways to add bullet points to your Google Sheets. First, you can copy and paste the bullet points, use a shortcut, or use the CHAR function. Additionally, you can use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheetgo.com\/blog\/google-sheets-features\/format-cells-in-google-sheets-2\/\">custom number formats<\/a>, which affect how the cell\u2019s contents are displayed without affecting the contents themselves.<\/p>\n<p>In this guide, you will learn four different ways of adding bullet points in Google Sheets. Depending on your needs, some methods are more appropriate than others. For example, if you\u2019re typing the list and want to add the bullet points as you type, the shortcut and the copy &amp; paste method are probably the most useful.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you already have a long list of items in Google Sheets, the CHAR function and the ampersand (&amp;) can help you quickly rewrite the list with bullet points. Finally, if you only want to display the bullet points without adding them to the cells, you can use a custom number format. You have step-by-step instructions on all four methods, so you can decide how you want to add your bullet points in Google Sheets.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=&#8221;how-to-insert-bullet-points-in-google-sh&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>How to insert bullet points in Google Sheets: copy &amp; paste<\/h2>\n<p>You can copy bullet points &#8211; or any other character &#8211; from a different program and paste them into Google Sheets.

In fact, you now know four different ways of adding bullet points to your spreadsheet cells. If you plan to type your list into Google Sheets, you can copy and paste the bullet points as you go. You can copy the bullet points from another source, such as Google Docs, and paste them directly into your cells in Google Sheets. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut to insert bullet points wherever you place your cursor in the cell.<\/p>\n<p>However, these two methods can be tedious, especially if your list already exists in Google Sheets. Fortunately, there are two more methods that are very helpful in these situations. First, you can use the CHAR function to insert the symbol you want to use as a bullet point. You can quickly rewrite your list with bullet points by combining it with the ampersand (&amp;) or the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheetgo.com\/blog\/google-sheets-formulas\/textjoin-google-sheets\/\">TEXTJOIN function<\/a>. You can then easily replace the original list with the new one using the \u2018Paste values only\u2019 option. Finally, you have a quick and unintrusive method: custom number formats. This method allows you to display your list items with bullet points without actually having to add them to the cell\u2019s contents.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ajouter des puces dans Google Sheets rend vos donn\u00e9es plus faciles \u00e0 comprendre et \u00e0 organiser.
