Create Anki Flashcards using google sheet

 

Some time I would like to use google sheet to create a table to list the key bindings of EDA tools.

In order to track and memorize the key bindings, it is very helpful to create Anki flashcards.

  • Create a new google sheet using the first three columns
  • 1st column: questions or titles
  • 2nd column: answers or actions or descriptions
  • 3rd column: tags
  • Hide other columns
  • Export the google sheet to a CSV file
  • Import the CSV file in Anki Software as a new Deck

Reference YouTube video: importing into Anki from Google Sheets - chemical equation - YouTube

The above Anki plugin is very useful. It converts google docs into anki flashcards.

  • Sync for any update

Tips: how to hide unused column or row in google sheet

In order to create the Anki flashcard, only three columns are needed in the google sheet. For hiding other unused columns, please follow the steps below.

Hide Unused columns in Google Sheets
If you don’t want unused rows and columns to be visible in the Google Sheets worksheet, you can easily hide these.
Below are the steps to hide unused columns in Google Sheets:
  1. Select the first column next to the last used column. You need to select the entire column by clicking on the column header at the top.
  2. Hold the CONTROL and SHIFT keys and press the right-arrow key. This will select all the unused columns.
  3. Right-click on any of the selected columns and click on the Hide Columns E-Z option (in your case, it may show different column alphabets based on what columns you have selected.
In Step 3, you can also use the keyboard shortcut CONTROL + ALT + 0 to hide all the selected columns.

You can also use the same methodology to hide unused rows as well.
