Power Tools

Description

Power Tools add-on cuts the clicks on repeated tasks and brings features for organizing and unifying data in Google Sheets.

Extra spaces, formulas and data in the wrong format are among many of the issues the add-on deals with:
- Take advantage of the new smart toolbar with handy assistants: change case, swap values, calculations based on color, unmerge all cells on the sheet in a click.
- Click once to AutoSum numbers in every row or column; sum and count cells by color.
- Get every needed data tool in one place: remove duplicates or bring them to one row, compare and merge sheets, randomize data, and much more.

The add-on keeps history of the recent operations at hand so that you can quickly re-apply a set of actions to a different range. You can also star the most frequent features to have access to your favorites at any time.

When you import data from different sources or share the same spreadsheet with colleagues, it becomes critical to bring it in order in the shortest time possible.
