Google Sheets already times every formula it calculates, but keeps those numbers to itself. This userscript adds a small button next to Share. Press Recalculate and you get the slowest cells first, each with its formula, its time and a link that takes you straight to it.

What it does

  • Recalculates the whole spreadsheet or a single sheet with Google's own engine.
  • Lists the slowest cells: formulas, conditional formatting and data validation.
  • Click an address to jump to the cell.
  • Shows where the time went: formulas, formatting, validation, loading.
  • Experiment tab: engine counters, how often functions ran, and the links of the selected cell.

Install

  1. Install Violentmonkey or Tampermonkey.
  2. Open the script on Greasy Fork and click Install.
  3. Reload your spreadsheet. The gauge button appears next to Share.

Works in Chrome and Firefox. The panel follows the language of Google Sheets: Russian or English.

Good to know

  • Every number comes from Google. The script doesn't estimate anything, and when Google doesn't report something, the panel says so.
  • Nothing leaves your browser. No servers, no analytics. Results are kept in memory until you reload the page.
  • Recalculating one sheet can also recalculate the sheets it depends on.
  • Google changes Sheets often. If something the script relies on changes, you'll see a clear message instead of wrong numbers.
  • Not affiliated with Google.

The demo uses sample data. This repository holds only the built script; Greasy Fork updates from it automatically.
