TL;DR Workspace is giving Google Sheets a new add-on.
Workday for Google Sheets eliminates the need for manual CSV downloads.
This add-on will be available to all Workspace customers, Workspace Individual subscribers, and users with personal accounts.
Google Sheets users have been getting spoiled these last few weeks. Earlier this month, Gemini became available for the Sheets Android app. That update came only days after the tech giant expanded the number of available fonts. Now, Google is giving a gift to the financial analysts out there.

Available in the Google Workspace Marketplace, this add-on connects Workday Adaptive Planning to Google Sheets and Slides. Its purpose is to eliminate the need for manual comma-separated values CSV downloads.
With this add-on, you’ll now be able to perform a variety of tasks without leaving Sheets, such as: Natural language summaries and variance analysis: Ask questions or use suggested prompts to get instant summaries, compare plan versions against actuals, and break down performance drivers across time periods and custom dimensions.
