Replace GEM formulas with their results

Convert Gem formulas to static values and prevent any further recalculation, either on a selected number of cells or across an entire sheet. If you need to recover the original formulas later, you can use the version history of your Google sheets

Prerequisites
  • You have opened a Google spreadsheet containing Gem formulas and selected Extensions > Gemini for Sheets and Docs > Open.

Replace formulas manually​

  1. Select the cells that contain the Gem formulas.

  2. Copy them by pressing Ctrl+C (or Cmd+C on Mac).

    Note: For Gem formulas with multi-row results, copy all rows with results, not just the formula row.

  3. Paste the results as values by pressing Ctrl+Shift+V (or Cmd+Shift+V on Mac).

Gem formulas within the manually selected cells are replaced by their respective results.

Replace formulas in selection​

  1. Select cells with active Gem formulas in the current sheet, ensuring all cells generated by formulas like GEM_LIST are included to prevent data loss.

  2. Open the Gem functions tab in the Gemini for Google sheet sidebar.

  3. Choose In selection in the Replace formulas dropdown.

Gem formulas within the selected cells are replaced by their respective results.

Replace formulas in entire sheet​

  1. Open the Gem functions tab in the Gemini for Google sheet sidebar.

  2. Refresh the formula count to see the number of active Gem formulas in the current sheet. Formulas on error won't be replaced.

  3. Choose In sheet in the Replace formulas dropdown.

All Gem formulas within the sheet are replaced by their corresponding results.
