A Simple Formula to Use to Create Labels in Google Sheets
The label clause is the easiest formula to use to change headers and other information on your labels. You will use the query function to access this feature.
Incorporate a Single Label Clause
Use the single label clause if you only have one change to make. You will enter “label column_id label_string” in the formula bar. Click on the cell you need to adjust first.

Replace the section labeled “column_id” with the letter or the range you need to change. Change the portion called “label_string” to assign an appropriate identification to the column.

Incorporate Multiple Label Clauses
If you need to make several changes, you will use multiple label clauses. Enter “label column_id label_string [,column_id label_string] in the formula bar.

You will specify the column you need to change in every section labeled “column_id.” Every time you see “label_string,” type the correct information.
