Google Sheets is a cloud-based spreadsheet application for creating, editing, analyzing, and sharing spreadsheets. Its core workflow combines spreadsheet calculations and visualization with real-time collaboration: multiple people can work in one file, permissions control access, and revision history supports review and recovery of earlier versions.
Sheets is designed for both routine data work and larger cloud datasets. It can import or directly edit Microsoft Excel files, connect to selected business data sources, and use Connected Sheets to work with BigQuery or Looker data inside the spreadsheet. Gemini-assisted tools can help users create or modify sheets, generate and troubleshoot formulas, populate tables, and find patterns in their data.
The product is available across desktop and mobile devices, with offline editing supported. Anyone with a Google Account can create in Sheets; some Gemini features require Google Workspace or Google Workspace Individual access.
Multiple collaborators can work in the same spreadsheet simultaneously. Sharing settings let owners control who can view, comment, or edit, and revision history enables users to review or revert earlier versions.
Gemini can build or edit spreadsheets from a prompt, synthesize information from Workspace apps and the web, and use native formulas, pivot tables, and charts in its output.
Gemini can write formulas from a plain-language request, explain formula errors, suggest fixes, and populate tables with summarized, categorized, or newly generated data based on an adjacent table.
Sheets canvas lets users create dashboards, heat maps, Kanban boards, and other interactive mini-apps on top of spreadsheet data without writing code.
Connected Sheets provides access to BigQuery or Looker data from within a spreadsheet without requiring users to write SQL, supporting analysis of large cloud datasets.
Users can import Excel files into Sheets or edit Excel files directly without making a copy. Sheets also supports creating, viewing, and editing spreadsheets without an internet connection.
Teams can maintain shared plans, trackers, and timelines in one file, with simultaneous editing, controlled permissions, and revision history instead of passing spreadsheet versions between people.
A team can place spreadsheet data into Sheets canvas to create a dashboard, heat map, or Kanban-style board for monitoring work and presenting status in a more interactive format.
Users can connect selected services such as Asana, HubSpot, Intuit QuickBooks, or Salesforce and use Gemini to summarize, categorize, or extend table data.
Analysts can use Connected Sheets to explore BigQuery or Looker data directly in the spreadsheet, including cloud datasets that are too large for ordinary local spreadsheet workflows.
