Exporting as a Spreadsheet File
This is the most common format for exporting Google Sheets. It preserves formatting, formulas, and data validation rules. To export as an .xlsx file, go to 'File' > 'Download' > 'Microsoft Excel (.xlsx)'.
This is an open-source format compatible with various spreadsheet applications like LibreOffice and OpenOffice. To export as an .ods file, go to 'File' > 'Download' > 'OpenDocument Spreadsheet (.ods)'.
This format exports only the data without formatting or formulas. It's useful for importing data into other applications or databases. To export as a .csv file, go to 'File' > 'Download' > 'Comma-separated values (.csv)'.
Exporting as a PDF or Web Page
Exporting as a PDF preserves the sheet's layout and formatting, making it ideal for sharing or printing. To export as a PDF, go to 'File' > 'Download' > 'PDF Document (.pdf)'.
This option exports the sheet as an HTML file, which can be viewed in a web browser. It's useful for sharing data online or embedding it into a website. To export as a web page, go to 'File' > 'Download' > 'Web Page (.html, zipped)'.
Google Sheets allows you to directly email the file as an attachment in various formats. To do this, go to 'File' > 'Email as Attachment', choose the desired format, and enter the recipient's email address.
Advanced Export Options
This option allows you to publish your sheet as a web page that can be accessed by anyone with the link. Go to 'File' > 'Publish to the Web' and follow the prompts to configure sharing settings and obtain the published URL.
Google Sheets is tightly integrated with Google Drive, allowing you to export files directly to your Google Drive storage. Right-click on the sheet tab and select 'Download as' to access various export formats and save the file to your Google Drive.
