Guide to Using the Gemini inside Google Sheets (No Coding Knowledge Required)

This script automates sending data from a Google Sheet to Gemini Pro and pasting the generated response back into the sheet.

Steps to Use the Script

• 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.
