Google Sheets

Spreadsheet work on Android

Google Sheets is a mobile spreadsheet app for creating, editing and reviewing tables, calculations and shared documents. It suits students, teams, small businesses and anyone who needs to check figures or update a worksheet away from a desktop. Documents can be opened from Google Drive, with changes available across supported devices.

Useful tools for shared work

• Live collaboration: Several people can work in the same spreadsheet, making it practical for budgets, schedules, project trackers and shared lists.
• Excel compatibility: The app can open and edit Microsoft Excel files, which helps when a spreadsheet begins outside Google’s own file format.
• Offline editing: Files can be prepared for use without a connection, then synchronised when access returns.
• Mobile controls: Formatting, formulas, rows, columns and data entry are available through a touch-focused interface rather than a full desktop layout.

What to expect on a phone

Sheets keeps the main spreadsheet workspace clear while placing more advanced controls behind menus and the formula bar. That makes quick edits and reviews manageable on a smaller screen, though large tables and complex workbooks remain easier to handle on a tablet or computer. Automatic saving and document history also make it easier to recover from unwanted changes or compare earlier work.

Place in the Productivity category

Google Sheets is published by Google LLC and has surpassed 1,000,000,000 installs. Its rating is 4.45 from 1,338,569 reviews, putting it close to the top of a category where reliability, file access and collaboration matter more than visual extras. It is a sensible choice for users already working with Google Drive or other Workspace services.
