Following the introduction of tables in Google Sheets and the recently announced improvements to tables, we’re excited to support a new automated way for users to transform their data into a well-formatted table, with rich data types.

If you have a meaningful range of data, Sheets will show a “Convert to table” suggestion when you click into your data range. By hovering over that indicator, you can preview the suggestion and then convert your range to a table in one click. 

End users 

This update encourages the use of tables, a feature that enables users to transform the way they organize their data, simplify data creation, and reduce the repetitive tasks needed to format, input, and update data in Sheets. 

Admins: There is no admin control for this feature. End users: This feature will be on by default and can be disabled by going to Tools > Suggestion controls > (deselect) Enable table suggestions. While the suggestion to convert to table will likely appear automatically, you can also convert data to a table manually by selecting a data range and going to Format > Convert to table. Visit the Help Center to learn more about using tables in Google Sheets. 

Rapid Release domains: Extended rollout (potentially longer than 15 days for feature visibility) starting on August 13, 2024 Scheduled Release domains: Gradual rollout (up to 15 days for feature visibility) starting on September 4, 2024 

Available to all Google Workspace customers, Google Workspace Individual Subscribers, and users with personal Google accounts
