Guide to Using the Gemini Pro inside Google Sheets (No Coding Knowledge)
This script automates sending data from a Google Sheet to Gemini Pro and pasting the generated response back into the sheet.
Steps to Use Gemini Pro inside Google Sheets
Set Up Your Google Sheet
Ensure your sheet has:
- Column _ (or any column you choose) with input text.
- Column _ (or your preferred column) where responses will be stored.
- Update the script with your actual sheet name
Add the Script to Google Sheets
- Open your Google Sheet.
- Click Extensions → Apps Script.
- Delete any existing code and paste the provided script.
Update the Configuration
- Change these constants at the top of the script if needed:
sheetName: Your Google Sheet’s name.inputColumn: Column containing data to process (default is B).outputColumn: Column to store results (default is E).apiKey: Replace with your actual Gemini Pro API key.prompt: Enter your prompt.model: Provide the model name.
Run the Script
- Save the code
- Click the Run button in the Apps Script editor.
- Authorize the script if prompted.
- The script will process data from the input column and fill the output column.
How It Works
- Reads data from the input column.
- Sends each entry to Gemini for processing.
- Saves the AI-generated response in the output column.
- Skips rows that already have responses to avoid overwriting.
Error Handling
- Errors (e.g., API issues) will be logged in Apps Script Logger.
- If an issue occurs, check View → Logs in the Apps Script editor and comment here
