Spreadsheets with real formulas.
Keeping track of a budget or a list? Type numbers, add formulas, and turn them into charts. Bring in a CSV file, or save as Excel with the formulas still working.
What you see
A grid you already know
Click a cell, type a number or a formula, and the answer updates.
Charts from your cells
Make bar, stacked bar, line, and donut charts from what you typed.
Part of the Workspace
Sheets sits beside Docs, Slides, PDF, Designer, and Meeting Notes.
It tells you the truth about saving.
Your work is saved on your device first. The light only says saved to Google after Google really has the copy.
Step by step
Start a sheet
Open a blank sheet, or bring in a CSV file.
Add formulas
Add up a column, look up a value, or count items that match. If a formula goes in a circle, Sheets marks it.
Make a chart
Turn a group of cells into a chart.
Save it
Download as CSV or Excel. If you connect Google, Sheets can keep a copy in your Google Drive.
Questions
Do formulas still work in Excel?
Yes, as long as the formula uses a function Sheets knows. One it does not know is saved as plain text instead of a broken formula.
Is a CSV file safe to open?
Yes. Cells that start with symbols that could trigger commands are made harmless when you save a CSV.
Can I use it today?
Not yet. The app is built and in testing, and it has not been released.
