Google has announced significant performance upgrades to Google Sheets, building upon last year's doubling of calculation speed for formulas, pivot tables, and conditional formatting capabilities.
The new update delivers substantial speed enhancements across several key operations:
- Data pasting between spreadsheets is now 50% faster
- Filter condition setup speed has improved by up to 50%
- Data loading of existing spreadsheets is now 30% faster
These improvements follow Google's earlier update that doubled the calculation speed in Sheets, which enhanced the performance of essential features including formulas, pivot tables, and conditional formatting across all file sizes.
The performance upgrades benefit various user groups in different ways:
For data analysts, the enhanced pasting speed enables more efficient data transfer between spreadsheets, regardless of data volume. Campaign managers can now apply filtering conditions more rapidly to analyze campaign performance. Small business owners benefit from faster data loading times, allowing quicker access to their business information.
These improvements represent Google's continued commitment to enhancing the efficiency and usability of its spreadsheet application for all users, regardless of their specific use cases or data volumes.
