Google Sheets users should feel a real gain in fluidity in their spreadsheets. Google has announced an update aimed at making its tool faster, with up to 50% gain on certain actions such as data filtering or copying and pasting.
Google Sheets becomes (much) faster
Google announces an update to its Sheets spreadsheet service, in order to significantly improve its responsiveness. Users should observe a faster execution of several common tasks. With this update, Google Sheets promises improved performance on several points:
- Passing data between different sheets is up to 50% faster, whether you are working with a few cells or a large data set.
- Applying filters, often used to organize information, benefits from the same 50% speed gain.
- Loading existing sheets improves by 30%, even for files containing many entries.
This completes a previous update that had already doubled the calculation speed of formulas and pivot tables. The goal is to minimize slowdowns when using complex sheets. Google illustrates these changes with concrete use cases: a data analyst will be able to transfer information between projects more smoothly, a marketing manager will save time classifying campaign metrics, and a retailer will be able to quickly access their sales figures.
A free and automatic update
Unlike some recent Workspace features that require a subscription or the use of Gemini artificial intelligence, these speed improvements are available free of charge to all Google Sheets users, whether they have a personal account or a Workspace subscription. No configuration is required: the update is deployed automatically.
With the rise of collaborative work and jobs focused on data management, the challenge is clear: to offer an ever faster and more fluid tool to meet user needs, while proving to users that Google Sheets has little to envy Microsoft Excel.
