Additional improvements to everyday actions in Google Sheets

By Alfonso Martinez 2 min read

What’s changing

Last year, we announced that we’ve doubled the calculation speed in Google Sheets, which improves the speed of actions like formulas, pivot tables, conditional formatting, and more, regardless of your file size. 

Today, we’re excited to announce additional improvements available for everyday actions in Sheets:
  • Pasting data is now up to 50% faster when you’re pasting from one spreadsheet to another
  • Filter conditions can now be set up to 50% faster than before 
  • Spreadsheets now load existing data up to 30% faster 

Who’s impacted 

End users 


Why it matters

These changes help various users work faster and more efficiently in a variety of scenarios. For example: 
  • A data analyst can paste small or large quantities of data from an existing spreadsheet to a new one in a quicker manner. 
  • A campaign manager can add filtering conditions to better understand the performance of a campaign at a certain time faster. 
  • A small business owner can quickly see their data load.
