UltiCells help

User guide for the UltiCells collaborative spreadsheet editor.

Getting started with UltiCells

Open a spreadsheet from UltiDrive (.xlsx, .csv or UltiSheet format).

Your changes are saved automatically in UltiDrive.

Click the UltiCells logo at the top left to return to your file space.

Collaboration

Share a spreadsheet from the Share button to invite others.

Avatars at the top right show who is viewing or editing the document.

Real-time co-editing synchronizes changes between participants.

Tools

The Tools menu offers spell check, public forms and UltiAI (Explore).

The View menu lets you freeze rows or columns and show the grid.

UltiAI can read and modify spreadsheet content via the side panel (⌘⌥⇧I).

Extensions and API

The Extensions menu groups UltiAI, API connections, smart fill and charts.

Apps Script opens programmatic access documentation and signed API connections.

AppSheet corresponds to public forms linked to the spreadsheet.

Public forms

Create a form from Drive → New → Form (spreadsheet + editor created automatically).

Edit or delete a form from the editor or a spreadsheet's context menu in Drive.

Share the public link: responses are added as new rows in the spreadsheet.

Forms are unavailable on Zero Trust spreadsheets.

Charts and reports

Insert a chart from Insert → Chart or Extensions → Data Studio → Create report.

Charts are linked to spreadsheet data ranges and display as overlays.

Export the spreadsheet as .xlsx to share data with other tools.

Functions and formulas

Enter a formula starting with = in a cell (e.g. =SUM(A1:A10), =IF(A1>0,"Yes","No")).

The formula bar shows the active cell content and lets you edit formulas.

Common functions include SUM, AVERAGE, COUNT, IF, VLOOKUP and CONCATENATE.

Accessibility

Most actions are keyboard accessible via menus and shortcuts.

Tools → Accessibility opens a keyboard options reminder in the editor.

The browser spell checker can be enabled from Tools → Spelling.

Keyboard shortcuts

Shortcuts follow the Google Sheets list for common features.

To view them from the editor: Help → Keyboard shortcuts, or ⌘/ (Mac) / Ctrl+/ (Windows).
