SheetGuard sidebar UI inside Google Sheets — create validation rules easily
How It Works

Set up validation in 3 steps

1

Set a Condition

Choose a column and operator. For example, "Status equals Complete" or "Amount is greater than 1000".

2

Choose Required Fields

Select which columns must be filled (or match a specific value) when the condition is true.

3

Enforce Automatically

SheetGuard monitors every edit in real time. Invalid changes are reverted instantly with a clear explanation.

Everything you need for data integrity

Real-Time Enforcement

Rules trigger instantly on every cell edit. Invalid changes are reverted before they can propagate.

Bulk Paste Validation

Validates hundreds of pasted rows at once. Violating rows are highlighted in red with detailed error notes.

Owner-Only Management

Only the spreadsheet owner can create and manage rules. All editors have rules enforced automatically.

AND / OR Logic

Combine multiple conditions with AND or OR operators to create complex validation rules. Pro

Cross-Column Comparisons

Compare columns against each other: "IF Amount > Budget" or "IF End Date > Start Date". Pro

Export & Import Rules

Back up your rules as JSON and import them into other sheets. Share rule sets across spreadsheets.
