Opening A Spreadsheet In Google Sheets

Learn How To Upload And Open Files in Google Sheets

When you are having issues viewing any spreadsheet (using Microsoft Excel or Open Office), you can open the same document in Google Sheets, a free spreadsheet-editing service that Google offers.

Please review the following information to learn how to upload any spreadsheet to Google Sheets!

1. First, make sure the file is downloaded to your computer. (e.g. If the spreadsheet is in an email, make sure to download the attachment from that email.)

2. Then head to Google Sheets (https://sheets.google.com/) and sign in to a Google account if necessary.

3. Next, click the "folder icon" on the right side of the screen as shown below.

6. The file should open automatically in Google Sheets! That's it!

Once the spreadsheet file is opened in Google Sheets, the file will then be associated with your Google account.
At this point, any changes made to the file are saved automatically to your Google account and the file becomes easy to share with Web Support Center and other business partners for joint review or editing.
