We do not encourage or condone the use of this program if it is in violation of these laws. In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:.
We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected. Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives. It also offers options for formulas, formatting, and even macro programming. However, as a part of the Google Workspace office suite , Google Sheets for Chrome is an online app —one that saves over to the cloud and is accessible from different devices.
Google Sheets for Chrome has all the basic functionalities you can expect from a standard spreadsheet app.
For this app, however, the look is more streamlined and most of the screen is filled with cells. This allows you to focus more on your workspace and less on the menu and the taskbars. In the event you need a particular feature, you can easily look them up through their respective drop-down menus, or you can explore the often compressed toolbars.
Icons are also sorted by their use: formatting, cell design and layout, formulas, and more. With intuitive use in mind, the app also makes the entire Functions button easily accessible, with most formula commands available in various categories. The first thing you must remember with Google Sheets for Chrome is that it is online.
While it saves automatically and allows access across various devices, it starts slowing down when you start working with larger data. This puts this extension at a disadvantage over a localized spreadsheet app that runs exclusively on your device.
Also, using Sheets would require you to always stay connected to the internet. Since it is a web browser extension, even intermittent connection losses would leave you unable to work.
Furthermore, you might have to reconnect to the Google servers to see up to what part of your progress was automatically saved. Heavy users will also find this alternative lacking compared to more traditional spreadsheet applications.
Although the Google Workplace program has most of the commonly used formulas, some of the specialized functions are not available.
Of course, Sheets comes with keyboard shortcuts, and you can create macros to automate repetitive tasks. Charts and graphs: You can build a chart based on selected cells. Sheets offers a collection of chart and graph types to use, including line and combo charts; area charts; column charts; and bar, pie, scatter, and geo charts.
You can change axes, series, customize the look of your chart, and add labels. Explore panel: Tap the Explore button in the bottom-right corner to have Sheets make suggestions about how to format and analyze your data and display it in charts. Explore may display some suggested questions you can explore with your data, and you can ask questions as well in the question field at the top of the Explore pane. Work in the cloud: Google keeps all your Sheets spreadsheets in Drive storage, and all your changes to Sheets are automatically saved to the cloud.
With a Google account, you get 15GB of cloud storage that is shared with your Gmail and Google Photos files and everything else you've uploaded to Drive. As everything is saved in the cloud, you need to be connected to Google's cloud to access your files. A Google Docs Chrome extension lets you work offline when you're not connected. Easy to collaborate with colleagues: Share a spreadsheet with others by tapping the Share button in the top-right corner of the window and then adding collaborators by name or email address.
You can also create a shareable link to send out. Sheets gives you control over who can edit, comment, or just view the spreadsheet and if they can download, print, copy, or share it. Collaborators can add comments to a file and address comments made by others.
You can view collaborator edits in real time and chat with others working on a file in a message window. You can also restore an earlier version if you want to revert something. Complementary apps: Along with Sheets, Google has a handful of free productivity apps you can use in conjunction with the spreadsheet tool, including Docs, for creating and editing text documents; Slides, for building and displaying slide presentations; Keep, an easy and quick app for taking notes, creating lists, making drawings and voice recordings, and storing images; Drawings, a diagramming tool that comes with flowchart symbols and other shapes to help you create and edit drawings, flowcharts, and diagrams; and Forms, for creating surveys and quizzes with responses collected in Sheets.
Templates: Google offers about two dozen spreadsheet templates you can use to get a running start when you create your document. Templates include to-do lists, budgets, calendars, schedules, travel planners, wedding planners, team rosters, invoices, weeks timesheets, purchase invoices, and expense reports. You can also use third-party templates for website traffic reports, Gantt charts, project tracking, and more.
Add-ons: Through third-party add-ons, you can extend the functionality of Sheets. Add-ons range from mail merge and statistics packages to cell and format management. You can also create custom items -- including menus, dialogs, and sidebars -- with Google's Apps Script.
And if one of the built-in functions isn't doing what you want, you can use Google Apps Script to write a custom function and then use it like one of the built-in ones.
A workplace suite: For a business version of Google's Docs editors, the company has G Suite, which includes Gmail, Docs editors, Drive, and Calendar reworked for business. In addition to the Docs editors, G Suite provides business-level security and administration tools and the Hangouts Meet app to make video calls with up to 25 people inside and outside an organization. Lacks higher-end tools: Google Sheets offers everything most people will want for spreadsheets.
If, however, you need to work with large amounts of data, require sophisticated functions, or love VBA , Google Sheets is going to fall short and you'd want to stick with Microsoft Excel.
Privacy concerns: Google relies in part on a user's settings and web-browsing history to serve ads. While you have control over what you share with Google through your user settings , the company monetizes your Google-related activities. With Google Sheets, you can create, edit, and format spreadsheets and handle common spreadsheet tasks. Unless you need industrial-strength number-crunching, Sheets should meet your needs.
