Gemini in Sheets review

Gemini in Sheets is not an Excel add-in, but it belongs on this list for teams that keep spreadsheets in Google Workspace. Google's help center says you open an Excel file, choose File, Save as Google Sheets, then click Ask Gemini at the top right to open a side panel with suggested prompts or your own. Gemini can work across several tabs in one prompt, you can limit it to chosen tabs from a dropdown, and actions it takes can be undone. Google says the feature needs an eligible Google Workspace or Google AI plan, and the Workspace comparison table shows that some plans do not include it, so check the tier before you buy. We could not confirm a USD price from our location, so pricing is marked pending. For Excel-first users the extra step is converting each file before Gemini can read it. We compared documented features and published prices.
