Turn a spreadsheet into an app
Updated Jun 25, 2026
Upload an Excel workbook and SheetApps builds a working web app from it — forms, field types, dropdowns and rules — that your team signs into.
How to turn a spreadsheet into an app?
- On My Apps, click New app and choose your `.xlsx` workbook or Google Sheets.
- Review the forms, fields and data types SheetApps detected, and pick the app's additional languages.
- Click Create app — your web app is created instantly. Click on Open App to start using the app.
- Enter new records using the web form(s) in the app (a new app starts empty).
What gets built
- A form for each Form_ sheet, with the right field types (text, number, date, currency…).
- Your master-data lists become dropdowns.
- Rules_ sheet determines field data types, validations and derivations.
- Logic_ sheet determines formulas and calculations.
- Translation_ sheet provides support for additional languages. Transforms the app into a multi-language application.
- Report_ sheets defines dashboards for visualization.
- Info_ sheet provides additional information about the app.
Good to know
- The workbook is a blueprint, not your data — a new app starts empty.
- If you want to upload data, use Import feature. To generate correct import data layout, click on Export and save the file.
- In a brand new app with no records, the export file will just have the field headings. You can fill the relevant data in the file.
- Need to change the design later? Edit the workbook and re-upload through Change app.
