Spreadsheet Data Entry helps you enter data into spreadsheets quickly from your phone: create forms, fill in fields, scan QR codes and barcodes, add photos, and save records to Google Sheets or locally.
When a lesson ends, I want to record attendance, homework, a grade, and a comment from my phone so that the learning spreadsheet stays current without working at a computer.
| Alternative | Limitations | Why SDE is better |
|---|---|---|
| Paper attendance and grade book |
Data has to be transferred into an electronic report, and one student's history is difficult to review quickly
|
SDE lets you select the student and record attendance, grade, assignment, and comment immediately without re-entering data; it uses student lists, switches, and date autofill.
|
| Direct entry in Excel or Google Sheets from a phone |
On a small screen it is difficult to find the correct row and column, and formulas, previous records, or the spreadsheet structure can be changed accidentally
|
SDE separates data entry from spreadsheet editing: the user sees only the required fields, and values are placed automatically in the columns configured for the “Track Attendance and Lesson Results” use case.
|
| Shared spreadsheet opened on a phone |
Selecting a student and entering several metrics on a small screen is inconvenient, and another person's row can be changed accidentally
|
SDE collects all required values in one guided form and immediately creates a structured row for the “Track Attendance and Lesson Results” use case.
|
| LMS or electronic grade book |
Useful for managing the entire learning process but may be complex and expensive for small groups or a private tutor
|
SDE can be launched without a full implementation: create a form, connect Google Sheets, and use only the fields required for the “Track Attendance and Lesson Results” use case.

Download SDE, sign in with Google, and grant access to your Google account so the app can work with your Google Sheets.
The app is ready to work with Google Sheets.
Prepare a Google Sheet and create a new SDE form that will send data to the required worksheet.
The form is connected to Google Sheets and ready for field configuration.
Configure the fields users will complete on their phones and specify which Google Sheets column should store each value.
The form is fully configured and ready for data entry.
Open the completed form, fill it in on your phone, and send the first record. The data will appear in Google Sheets immediately.
The data was submitted successfully and appeared in the spreadsheet.
