Better Sheets - Rejected

It happened.

The Google Sheets Add-on was rejected.

Risky Course To Make

I've been making a Google Sheets add-on. And at the same time recording the process for a course.

It's a risky move but I think one that will pay off for you, because you get to watch over my shoulder as I make mistakes, and you'll know how to never even make the mistake in the first place.

And so I made a mistake. But it's not one you might normally think.

In fact, it's not a life or death mistake.

Simple Mistake

This Add-on was rejected for the single fact that my "detailed description" was not long enough.

There are two descriptions you have to write for the Google Workspace Marketplace. One is a short description and one is a long description. I wrote a 1 sentence description for both.

Everything is rejected

If your ego can't take rejection, I'd recommend not going through this process. Because all 5 of my previous add-ons I've gotten published all got rejected.

5 out of 5 rejections.

Make that 6 out of 6, if this Add-on ultimately does get accepted.

Resubmitted

But I have pushed on. Recorded the 27th video of the course about how to overcome this rejection and how it happens every time.

And so now the Editor Add-on I submitted is now re-submitted.

Want to build an Add-on yourself?

If you want to build an add-on in Google Sheets, you'll have to know Apps Script. I teach Apps Script myself. In 3 hours you'll learn just enough to be dangerous!

Spreadsheet Automation 101

I offer a video course on Udemy called Spreadsheet Automation 101.

All Better Sheets members get the same videos of Spreadsheet Automation 101 included in membership.

Live Cohort Class to Learn Apps Script

And next week I'm holding a 4 day live cohort of Spreadsheet Automation 101.

You'll be able to learn via the videos each day, and then have a 90 minute live zoom call with me to go beyond the material, or ask additional harder questions.

The prerecorded videos in the live version are the same in the Udemy course and the same videos on Better Sheets.

Pick the way you'd like to learn and go for it.

Live sessions will be 1 per day from June 12th to 15th
At 11 AM London time
↳ 6 AM NYC time

Wish me Luck,

Oops my bad. I had made some "improvements" to the Better Sheets site and it seemed in doing so I messed up the links to the tools you could get. The links have been messed up for a few days.
