Google Sheets is a powerful tool for managing data, but the repetitive tasks involved in spreadsheet management can be time-consuming and tedious. This is where Sutra Tools comes in. Sutra Tools is a game-changing Google Sheets Addon designed to simplify repetitive tasks, improve efficiency, and help users get more done with less effort. In this blog, we will explore 10 ways Sutra Tools streamlines your Google Sheets workflow, saving you time and reducing complexity.
1. Hide, Unhide, and Delete Multiple Sheets at Once
Managing multiple sheets in a large workbook can be a hassle. Sutra Tools lets you hide, unhide, or delete multiple sheets in a single click. This feature is especially useful when you need to organize a sheet with a lot of data and want to hide unnecessary sheets for better focus.
Example: Say you have a workbook with dozens of sheets, and you need to hide only a few of them for review. With Sutra Tools, you can select multiple sheets and hide them all at once, instead of clicking through each sheet individually.
2. Clear Values, Formatting, Dropdowns, and Notes
If you need to reset a range of cells, clearing values, formatting, dropdowns, and notes manually can take forever. Sutra Tools allows you to clear all these elements in one go. Whether you’re cleaning up a dataset or resetting a section for new data, this feature speeds up the process.
Example: You’ve imported a dataset and now need to remove any existing formatting. Instead of clearing formatting cell by cell, simply use Sutra Tools to clear it across multiple cells or columns instantly.
3. Add Multiple Rows and Columns in Seconds
Manually adding rows and columns one by one can waste precious time. Sutra Tools lets you add multiple rows or columns at once, saving you from the repetitive task of inserting them individually.
Example: You’re preparing a large report and need to add 50 new rows for extra data. Instead of adding them manually, use Sutra Tools to add all 50 rows in a few clicks.
4. Delete Empty Rows and Columns
Empty rows and columns can clutter up your spreadsheet, making it harder to navigate and manage your data. Sutra Tools helps you delete empty rows and columns with ease, ensuring your Google Sheets remains clean and organized.
Example: After importing data from an external source, you notice a bunch of empty rows in between. Instead of manually deleting each one, Sutra Tools lets you automatically find and delete them, speeding up the cleanup process.
5. Insert Specific Text in Multiple Cells
If you need to insert the same value or text across multiple cells, Sutra Tools makes it simple. Whether it’s a specific value or a formula, you can populate a range of cells without typing it manually.
Example: You want to add a default note to several cells across different sheets. With Sutra Tools, you can insert the text “Check this cell” across a selected range, saving time and avoiding repetition.
6. Highlight Duplicate Rows and Values
Identifying duplicate values in your data can be challenging, especially in large spreadsheets. Sutra Tools helps you highlight duplicate rows and values, making it easier to spot errors and inconsistencies.
Example: You’re working with a customer list, and you want to find duplicate entries. Sutra Tools automatically highlights the duplicate rows or values so you can review and delete them without manually scanning the entire sheet.
7. Change Case or Convert Numbers to Positive/Negative
Need to change multiple values to uppercase, lowercase, or proper case? Or perhaps you need to convert a column of numbers to positive or negative? Sutra Tools allows you to easily change the case or sign of multiple values at once.
Example: After importing data, you notice names are in all lowercase. Instead of manually changing each name, you can convert all the names to proper case with just a few clicks using Sutra Tools.
8. Freeze and Unfreeze Data
When working with large datasets, freezing rows or columns can make navigation easier. Sutra Tools simplifies freezing and unfreezing data, whether it’s a single row or multiple rows and columns.
Example: You’re working on a dataset with many columns, and you want to keep the header row visible while scrolling. Sutra Tools lets you freeze the header row in seconds without manually adjusting the sheet.
9. Export Data to a JSON File
Need to export your Google Sheets data to JSON format? Sutra Tools makes this process quick and easy. Whether you’re preparing data for an API or integrating with another tool, exporting to JSON is as simple as clicking a button.
Example: You have data in Google Sheets that needs to be used in a web application. With Sutra Tools, you can export the data directly to a JSON file, streamlining the process without having to manually convert the data.
10. Split Data into Multiple Sheets
If you have a large dataset that needs to be divided into smaller sheets, Sutra Tools can split the data for you automatically. Whether you’re dividing data by categories or just need to distribute it across several sheets, this feature saves you time and effort.
Example: You have a list of customer data that needs to be split by region. Instead of manually copying and pasting, use Sutra Tools to automatically create separate sheets for each region and distribute the data accordingly.
