One of the features that make Google Sheets stand out is its flexibility. It is a cloud-based platform that allows users to collaborate on spreadsheets in real-time, making it a popular choice for businesses that require teamwork.

This post will show you how to paste a style from one cell to another and create custom styles in the Google Sheets online and on Android. This feature is particularly useful when you want to maintain consistency in formatting across different parts of your spreadsheet.

Another feature that Google Sheets users can take advantage of is the integration with Google Bard, a language model that can generate text and perform calculations. Learn how to prompt Bard to produce content and calculations that you can export or copy to a Google Sheet. Moving from Google Bard to Google Sheets can save time and reduce errors in data entry.

Starting today, trusted testers will see a new sidebar in Google Sheets. This sidebar will provide quick access to various functions, including conditional formatting, data validation, and filter views. Users can customize the sidebar to suit their needs and preferences.

Google Workspace has announced an upgrade to its spreadsheet software that could make the tool more useful than ever before. The upgrade includes a new feature called "Smart Fill," which uses AI to predict what you want to enter in a column based on the data in adjacent columns. This feature can save time and reduce errors in data entry.

Currently in beta, Help Me Write is a new generative AI writing tool built into Gmail and Google Docs. Here's how to get the most out of it. Help Me Write can suggest sentence structures, word choices, and even entire paragraphs based on the context of your document. This feature can be particularly useful for businesses that need to produce high-quality content quickly.

Google Workspace files in Dropbox must be migrated to Google Drive soon or they will be automatically converted to Microsoft Office format. This migration is necessary because Google Workspace and Dropbox have ended their partnership. Users can use the "Drive Migrator" tool to migrate their files from Dropbox to Google Drive.

A Print layout has long been available in Docs for Android, but Google is now defaulting to a paginated mode. This mode is designed to make it easier to read and navigate documents on mobile devices. Users can switch back to the Print layout if they prefer.

A new Help me visualize panel has made it to Google Slides. This panel allows users to add and edit charts, diagrams, and other visual elements to their presentations. Users can choose from a variety of templates and customize them to suit their needs.
