How Do I Create A Sheet Template To Use As A Starting Point For New Sheets?

by

To create a sheet template in Google Sheets, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open a new or existing sheet in Google Sheets.
  2. Set up the sheet with the desired formatting, data, and formulas.
  3. From the “File” menu, select “Make a copy.” This will create a copy of the sheet.
  4. Rename the copy to the name you want to use for your template.
  5. From the “File” menu, select “Publish to the web.”
  6. In the “Publish to the web” window that appears, click the “Start publishing” button.
  7. After publishing, click the “Copy link” button to copy the URL of the published sheet.
  8. Save the URL as a bookmark or save it in a document for future reference.

To use the template, you can simply open the URL of the published sheet and make a copy of it. This will create a new sheet with the same formatting, data, and formulas as the template. You can then modify the new sheet as needed.

Alternatively, you can create a sheet template by creating a sheet with the desired formatting, data, and formulas and then saving it as a Google Sheets file on your computer. You can then use this file as a starting point for new sheets by opening it and making a copy of it.
