Power Tools is a set of 30+ smart features that you miss most in Google Sheets. The add-on not only reduces the number of mouse clicks on some routine operations in spreadsheets, but also offers solutions for common yet complex tedious tasks. Each tool here is designed to make data processing easy for you. Give the collection a try, and you will do the following without effort:
Your efficiency comes down to the time you spend on simple daily operations such as find and replace data, count or sum values by their color, change case, unpivot tables, unmerge and flip cells, freeze panes. Each button you'll find on the toolbar is there to cut down the clicks on these repetitive tasks.
From blanks to duplicates, Power Tools equips Google Sheets with simple ways to clear your data of any redundant values. The package includes 3 add-ons that remove duplicates and find unique records. Whether you're trying to compare two columns or tables, or scan one sheet, the tools process thousands of records in no time.
Forget about complex VLOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH functions with these 4 add-ons at your disposal. Quickly match and merge two tables, combine multiple sheets together, consolidate values from duplicate rows, or concatenate records from multiple cells. You won't lose the original data or column order and will be able to benefit from additional options.
Text constitutes an important part of each spreadsheet, and Power Tools will quickly make it look presentable. Use the add-on to normalize text in the entire selection and replace characters, symbols, and codes. Here you will find the solutions to deal with missing and excess spaces or add words to any position within a cell.
The tools in the Remove group instantly delete substrings and characters you specify before, after, or between the words in the selected cells. If any excess spaces crept in with your data, you will trim them all in a couple of mouse clicks as well. The Clear group, in its turn, will free your selection of any type of data.
Arranging values into columns the desired way can be a challenge. Power Tools provides clever instruments to split text in Google Sheets. There's no need to insert a column with formulas anymore: just select the values and pick standard delimiters or the place at which to pull them apart. If you work with lists of people's names, you’ll get them in separate columns of titles, salutations, and other units in a matter of seconds.
Ever needed to adjust lots of formulas in your spreadsheet? It's possible with Power Tools in one click. Convert your formulas to relatives, absolutes, or even to their values and add extra calculations to all of them at once. If incorrect formatting breaks your calculations as well, Power Tools will return your text-formatted numbers to their original state.
Two powerful add-ons from this group are irreplaceable when it comes to generating random strings of various data. Use your own lists of values or pick from predefined ones to create strong passwords or working shift plans. You can also shuffle existing records and entire rows or columns randomly.
