Google is making spreadsheets more powerful with an AI-driven data analysis upgrade to Google Sheets’ Gemini side panel. This update allows users to generate insights, detect trends, and create charts—all with the help of Python-generated analytics.

What’s New?
“Analyze for Insights”: Gemini will identify patterns, correlations, and trends within your data.
Automated Chart Generation: Gemini will create static charts based on the insights it finds.
Python-Powered Analysis: For complex prompts, Gemini will write and execute Python code.

Limitations

Charts are static: Once inserted, they cannot be modified or updated dynamically.

Data formatting matters: Google recommends clean, well-structured data with clear headers for accurate AI analysis.

Who Gets It?

Google One AI Premium users

Business and Enterprise Workspace customers (Standard & Plus plans)

Education & Enterprise users with Gemini add-ons

When’s It Coming?
The rollout is expected to finish by February 20, so if you don’t see it yet, hang tight!

This update brings AI-powered data analysis to Google Sheets, making complex insights accessible to more users—especially those dealing with large datasets.
