Sheets overview

Sheets is the workspace spreadsheet: a fast collaborative grid with a formula engine that speaks the same language as Google Sheets and Excel. Type =SUM(A1:A10) and it does exactly what you expect — with your teammates editing beside you in real time.

  • Workbook list on the left — every sheet you can see, plus New sheet. The list collapses to a slim rail when you want the grid to have the whole screen.
  • The grid — rows, columns, and a formula bar above showing the true contents of the selected cell.
  • Presence avatars in the header show who else is in the workbook right now.
  1. Click New sheet — you get a fresh grid.
  2. Click a cell and type: text, numbers, or a formula starting with =.
  3. Share it from the Share dialog when others should see or edit it.

Everything syncs live — a teammate’s edits appear in your grid within a blink, and new sheets are private to you until you share them.

The function catalog follows the Google Sheets function list — VLOOKUP, SUMIF, INDEX, MATCH, TEXTJOIN, and 270+ more are implemented, across math, text, date, logical, lookup, statistical, and financial categories. Formulas from spreadsheets you’ve used before generally paste straight in. See Formulas & functions.

Sheets is deliberately focused on data and formulas first. Not yet available:

  • Cell formatting (colors, borders, number formats) and merged cells.
  • Multiple tabs per workbook.
  • Comments, sort/filter views, and export to XLSX/CSV.

When a function exists in the catalog but isn’t implemented yet, a cell using it shows an honest #UNSUPPORTED! with an explanation on hover — never a silently wrong number.
