Free library
Automate it in Google Sheets: 12 free recipes
Copy-paste formulas and Apps Script for the chores small businesses ask about most. Each recipe has step-by-step instructions and working code. Script logic is unit-tested before publishing.
- 01
Remove duplicate rows
Keep one row per customer, order or email: a no-code formula view, plus a one-click script that cleans the sheet in place.
- 02
Timestamp on edit
Record 'last updated' (or 'created at') automatically whenever someone changes a row. No trigger setup needed.
- 03
Auto-email on form submit
Get every response in your inbox (with Reply going straight to the customer) and send respondents an instant confirmation.
- 04
Merge CSV files
Drop exports from your shop, bank or CRM into one Drive folder and combine them in one click. Columns are matched by header name.
- 05
Scheduled backups
A dated copy of your spreadsheet every night in a folder you choose, keeping the last 30 and trashing older ones.
- 06
XLOOKUP patterns
Copy-paste lookups for the cases that trip people up: two criteria, whole columns at once, the latest match, tiered pricing.
- 07
QUERY patterns
Build live summaries with one formula: filter, group, pivot and sort, without pivot tables.
- 08
Clean messy data
Formulas to normalize the data you get from forms and exports, plus a one-click script that strips the invisible characters that break lookups.
- 09
Overdue invoice reminders
A daily script that emails clients whose invoices are past due, at most once a week each, and logs when it did. Starts in safe dry-run mode.
- 10
IMPORTRANGE + filter
Show only the rows you need from another file, combine several files into one, or take a stable scheduled snapshot.
- 11
Archive completed rows
Keep your task, order or lead list short: rows marked Done move to an archive tab with the date, instantly.
- 12
Import JSON from an API
Pull data from any JSON API (your store, CRM, or a public dataset) into a tab, flattening nested fields, refreshed hourly.
