Sheets

Collaborative, smart, secure spreadsheets for fast-moving organizations

What are the advantages of Sheets

Frictionless collaboration and information sharing:
  • Whether you’re planning an event or sharing the latest revenue figures, Sheets makes it seamless for teams to work together. Easily add collaborators to projects, see changes as they occur, receive notifications for edits that happen while you’re away, and chat with colleagues in the same document. All changes are automatically saved as you make them. And with offline access, you can create, view, and edit files wherever and whenever
Get insights fast, powered by Google AI:
  • Sheets empowers everyone across the organization to uncover valuable insights from data. Formula acceleration saves time and mitigates errors by surfacing relevant formulas as you type. For an even easier way to navigate your data, click on the Explore button to see trends and customizable visualizations. Or simply type a question into Explore and have Google AI retrieve the answers you need.
Work seamlessly across Sheets and Excel:
  • Sheets opens up whole new ways of collaborating so that you can worry less about having the right version on file and focus on bringing your best ideas to life. Seamless compatibility with Microsoft files, including many of the keyboard shortcuts you rely on, reduces the friction of working across multiple platforms.
Maintain control with enterprise-grade security:
  • With Sheets, your content is continuously protected by one of the world’s most advanced security infrastructures. Manage permissions through individual-level, group-level, or domain-level access. Set expiration dates on your content. Disable options to download, copy, or print for specific collaborators. Use Data Loss Prevention controls to keep sensitive data safe.
Build custom solutions:
  • Speed up workflows by building business apps and automations. Use AppSheet to build custom applications on top of Sheets, without writing code. Or add custom functions, menu items, and macros with Apps Script.
