Frequently asked questions

Do I need to sign up or enter my email?

No. Every template downloads directly. No email walls, no signup, no ads, no tracking pixels on the download link. If you like the newsletter, subscribe — but it's completely optional.

Will these templates work in Google Sheets?

Most do. Import the .xlsx into Google Sheets and 90% of formulas convert automatically. A few Excel-specific functions (like LAMBDA or dynamic array behavior) may need small edits. Each template's page notes Google Sheets compatibility.

Can I customize the templates?

Yes — that's the point. Every formula is editable, every cell is unlocked, no worksheet passwords. Change formatting, add columns, rewire formulas, whatever your workflow needs.

Do templates work on iPad and Excel Mobile?

Yes, though some advanced features (Power Query, macros) don't run on iPad or mobile. The core templates — budgets, invoices, trackers — work on every version of Excel.

Can I request a template that isn't listed?

Yes. Email info@sheetsandcells.com with what you need. We prioritize the most-requested templates and often build the top requests within 2-4 weeks.
