HOW TO ADD GINISS TO A GOOGLE SHEETS SPREADSHEET | |
1. Upload income/profit spreadsheet data or csv file to Google Drive. | |
2. Open the file and convert it to Google Sheets. | |
3. In Google Sheets, in the menu bar, select Tools, then Script Editor | |
4. In the Script Editing window, remove any example code provided by google. | |
5, In another web browser window, go to https://gist.github.com/DrPaulBrewer/453fe92c574df0fb745ec5711dcc3654 | |
6. Select the text contents of GINISS from the link in 5 and COPY (Control-C) | |
7. Go to the Script editing window from step 4, and PASTE (Control-V) | |
8. The code of GINISS function should now be in the script editing window. Select SAVE (Disk Icon) | |
9. Go back to the Google Sheet, the GINISS function should work now. | |
To use GINISS or THEILT function after steps 1-9 | |
Put income data in rows. | |
Add a blank column for the calculation of Gini coefficient. | |
In first cell of blank column, use "=GINISS(A1:N1)", | |
where A1:N1 should be replaced with the range of cells that contain the income or profit data | |
If a calculation is obtained, copy this cell to the other blank rows to calculate Gini Coefficient column | |
If you need blank or missing data to be ignored, use GINISS(A1:N1) | |
If you need blank or missing data to be counted as zero, use GINISS(A1:N1,0) | |
