Standard Workflow

Most Sheets Mega Tools follow a simple sidebar workflow:

  1. Open Google Sheets™ and open the add-on sidebar
  2. Expand `Sheets Mega Tools`
  3. Choose a tab: Cell Values, Cell Formatting, or Rows & Columns
  4. Open the tool you want to use
  5. Configure the tool options
  6. Run the tool and review the result before your next action

Tip: Start with a copied test sheet and a small selection first. Use preview flows before deletions or large workbook-wide actions.


Scope and Safety

  • Use Selection when you want the safest and most predictable scope.
  • Use Current sheet when the whole active sheet is your target.
  • Use All sheets only when you intentionally want workbook-wide processing.
  • Prefer preview-driven workflows before deleting rows, clearing values, or applying large text-case changes.
  • Use backup options before destructive actions when the tool offers them.

Large Ranges: For very large ranges, some tools show a warning before they run. This gives you the chance to continue or cancel before a large scan or bulk change starts.


Recommended First Steps

  1. Try Find Values in Cells first to understand the panel and results workflow.
  2. Use Text Case Transform on a small selection and review the preview.
  3. Use Find Duplicate Rows before Quick Delete Duplicate Rows when you want more control.
  4. Use workbook-wide scopes only after you are comfortable with smaller runs.

Available Tools

  • Find Values in Cells - Search for values, formulas, notes, links, or errors, then highlight, replace, format, delete rows, or copy matches.
  • Find Duplicate Cells - Locate cells with duplicate values, with options for case sensitivity and whitespace trimming.
  • Sum by Color - Calculate sums grouped by cell background or text color, with results displayed in the sidebar.
  • Cell Value Heatmap - Visualize data patterns by applying color gradients to cell values based on their numeric or text content.
  • Text Case Transform - Normalize capitalization across your selection with smart sentence and proper case options.
  • Smart Text Case ✨ - AI-powered, context-aware capitalization for names, addresses, and messy input.
  • Find Duplicate Rows - Identify rows with identical data across multiple columns, then highlight, delete, or mark them.
  • Quick Delete Duplicate Rows - Preview duplicate-row cleanup for a selected range, then delete duplicates only after the preview looks correct.
  • Sort by Color - Sort the current selection using cell background colors.
