Click ‘Create‘ button or press ‘Enter‘ to let Gemini generate the formula.

Using Smart Fill Suggestions from Gemini

Gemini can make your work faster by giving smart suggestions when entering data in Google Sheets. It uses AI to spot patterns and guess the remaining values in a column based on what you’ve already typed.

To use this feature Smart Suggestions must be enabled. Here’s how:

Open your worksheet.
Click on the ‘Tools’ menu.
Go to ‘Auto-Complete’ and ensure the ‘Enable Enhanced Smart Fill Suggestions’ option is turned on. If it’s not, click to enable it.

Enter your data into the sheet now. For example- make a table with a list of eateries and give stars to each one. After you’ve given a few restaurants your ratings, Gemini’s Smart Fill will use the patterns it finds to suggest ratings for the remaining eateries.

These suggestions will appear as you enter or edit data, allowing you to either accept or reject them.

Note: Currently, Gemini’s Smart Fill works only with English text and requires at least three example rows with two text-based columns. It doesn’t work with dates or numbers.

Using Smart Fill, along with Gemini’s ability to generate and edit data, can save time and make working in Google Sheets more efficient. Just remember, for accurate results, verify your data before using Gemini.
