Excel templates and template search

Excel users can now use pre-built templates: download a workbook from the Templates page or add a template straight from the Template Library in the Excel add-in. The revamped Templates page also makes it easier to search the library and find templates by platform.

• NEW Excel template downloads. Most templates are now available as Excel workbooks with SheetsFinance formulas. On the Templates page, a template with an Excel version shows Download for Excel next to Copy to Google Sheets. See Pre-built Templates.

• NEW Template Library in the Excel add-in. The Template Library tab lists the templates with an Excel version. Open a template as a new workbook, or add its sheets to the workbook you already have open; sheets whose names clash with existing sheets are renamed automatically.

• CHANGE Templates page. The Templates page adds search and platform controls, so you can find templates by platform and see which ones have Excel versions.
