## Summary

Workday announced a new add‑on called Workday for Google Sheets, now listed in the Google Workspace Marketplace. The add‑on links Workday Adaptive Planning directly to Google Sheets and Slides, eliminating the need for manual CSV downloads. It embeds the AI‑driven “Ask Workday” feature, allowing analysts to pose natural‑language questions and receive instant summaries, variance analysis, and performance‑driver breakdowns.

The add‑on also provides automated anomaly detection across account hierarchies, AI‑generated charts and tables that can be moved between Sheets and Slides, and live pulling of Adaptive Planning accounts, dimensions and time periods that refresh on demand. Admins must enable the add‑on and the Ask Workday permission set, configure SSO and tenant settings, then install it from the Marketplace for selected users or groups. End users launch it from the Extensions menu after signing in. It is available now to all Google Workspace customers, Workspace Individual subscribers, and personal Google accounts, though a Workday Adaptive Planning license is required.
