Frequently asked questions

What is Table Styles and what do I need it for?

With this tool at hand, changing the appearance of your data in Google Sheets is very simple. You can apply any of pre-supplied styles to the entire table, or even choose what table parts are present in the selection. Besides existing templates, it lets you add your custom formatting patterns to the collection. You can edit or remove an obsolete style at any time.

Why should I use your add-on when there are formatting tools in Google Sheets?

Standard Google Sheets options let you alter only one element at a time, i.e. change font or background color. Also, you need to select each table part (a row or a column) separately to change it.

With our add-on, you will apply different styles to certain parts of the entire table at once: header, first row stripe, etc.

Can I create a completely new pattern without pre-formatting any table in advance?

Sure, you can create it from the very beginning, determining the table parts you have and choosing all fonts, colors, and borders for them. But if you have an exemplary Google Sheet table ready, adding it as a style template would be much faster.

Can I modify some parts of my styles later?

Of course! You can manage existing templates in the same way you create them. Change the formatting of your table header, add borders to your left column, or re-color every other row to make the information easier to read.
