Excel Add-in for Google Workspace: Manage Google Contacts, Calendar and Tasks in Excel
Excel Add-in for Google Workspace, sold until 2021 as Excel Add-in for G Suite, is a $179.95 Devart add-in that signs Excel for Windows in to a Google account and loads its Contacts, Calendar events and reminders, and Tasks into worksheets, where you can edit them and save the changes back to Google. It is a tool for cleaning up and bulk-editing address books and calendars, not for Google Sheets or Drive files, which it doesn't touch.

Overview
Google's web screens are made for editing one contact or one event at a time. Fixing the job titles of three hundred contacts, adding a country to every address, or listing every meeting with a client over the last year is slow there. Devart's add-in puts those records in an Excel table instead. You sign in once through Google's own login window, pick Contacts, Events or Tasks, and work on them with normal Excel tools.
Devart has supported Google's apps since January 2017. In December 2021 it renamed the add-in for Google Workspace and moved contacts to Google's People API, which replaced the old Contacts API. Since then the Google connector has shared the common updates of Devart's add-ins, most recently Excel 2024 support in June 2026.
Google contacts in Excel with Edit Mode on: edited first names and birthdays are tinted, one contact is marked for deletion, a new "Alex Johnson" row is ready to commit, and the Emails column holds each address, type and primary flag as a JSON list.
Features
Bulk contact editing
Excel Add-in for Google Workspace loads Google Contacts with names, birthdays, notes and email addresses. Fix spelling, fill in missing fields with formulas, add new contacts as rows or delete stale ones, then Commit to update the Google address book. Duplicate checks and sorting in Excel make de-duplication much quicker than in Google Contacts.
Calendar events as data
Excel Add-in for Google Workspace imports Google Calendar events and reminders as rows, so you can total meeting hours per week, list every event with one attendee or client name in the title, or prepare a schedule in Excel and commit it as new events.
Google Tasks in a sheet
Excel Add-in for Google Workspace reads Google Tasks too, which is handy for reviewing a long task list, sorting it by due date, or loading a batch of tasks from a project plan.
Your own Google app, if IT requires it
Excel Add-in for Google Workspace signs in with Devart's built-in Google app by default. The connection page also has Client Id and Client Secret boxes, so an organisation that only allows approved OAuth apps can register its own in the Google Developers Console and use that instead.
The connection page (from the G Suite days) with optional Client Id and Client Secret boxes, and the Web Login window showing Google's sign-in page.
Real-World Uses
- Address book clean-up after years of auto-saved contacts: find duplicates, fix names, remove dead entries.
- Mass update: add a company name or label-like note to every contact from one client after a merger.
- Time analysis: load a quarter of calendar events and pivot meeting time by keyword or weekday.
- Event import: turn a training schedule kept in Excel into Google Calendar events in one Commit.
- Task review: export Google Tasks to share a status list with someone who doesn't use Google.
Who It's For, and Who Should Skip It
It is for office managers, assistants and small-business owners who keep contacts and calendars in a Google account and work in Excel for Windows.
Skip it if what you want is to move data between Excel and Google Sheets; this add-in doesn't do that. Skip it too for a one-time contact move, since Google Contacts can export and import CSV for free, and if you're on a Mac or Excel on the web. If your contacts really live in a CRM such as HubSpot or Salesforce, the add-in for that CRM is the better buy.
Usage Guide
- Install: sign in at Devart, download the installer, close Excel and run it as an administrator.
- Connect: in Excel choose the Devart tab, Get Data, then Google Workspace, and click Web Login. Sign in to Google in the window that opens and allow access.
- Choose the data: pick Contacts, Events or Tasks, select columns, add a filter (for example events after a date), preview and import.
- Edit: click Edit Mode, make your changes, and Commit to send them to Google.
- Refresh the sheet any time to see what changed in Google.
Where it falls short
- Narrow scope for the name. "Google Workspace" here means Contacts, Calendar and Tasks only: no Gmail, Drive, Sheets or admin directory.
- Multi-value fields are JSON. Emails (and similar lists) arrive as JSON text in one cell, so editing them needs care with the brackets and quotes.
- Commits are real. Deleting a contact row and committing deletes it from Google; keep a copy before large clean-ups.
- Price versus free tools. For occasional moves, Google's CSV export and import cost nothing. Devart refunds only for technical faults, so judge it in the trial.
What Users Say
Reviews
Reviews of Devart's add-ins are filed under the family name rather than under the Google Workspace add-in. As a group, Devart's Excel add-ins rate about 9.3 out of 10 on TrustRadius from 33 reviews and ratings, and their small G2 profiles are mostly 4.5 to 5 stars, with cost and first-time setup as the usual complaints. Setup is the easy part here, a Google sign-in, so the trial is mainly a test of whether the Contacts, Calendar and Tasks columns cover what you need.
Comparisons
Excel add-in vs Google Contacts CSV export and import
Google's CSV route is free and fine for a one-off move, but each change means another export, edit and import. The add-in edits the existing records in place, refreshes on demand, and covers Calendar and Tasks too.
Single add-in vs Cloud Pack
The Google Workspace add-in alone is $179.95. If you also need a CRM, help desk or shop in Excel, the Cloud Pack ($499.95) includes this add-in and 19 others and is cheaper than three single add-ins.

FAQs
Does Excel Add-in for Google Workspace work with a free Gmail account?
Excel Add-in for Google Workspace signs in through Google's normal login page, and Contacts, Calendar and Tasks exist in personal Google accounts as well as Workspace ones. In a Workspace domain that restricts third-party apps, an admin may need to allow it, or you can use your own registered client ID and secret.
Can it sync Excel with Google Sheets?
No. Excel Add-in for Google Workspace doesn't open Google Sheets or Drive files; it covers Contacts, Calendar and Tasks.
I bought the G Suite add-in years ago. Is this the same product?
Yes. Excel Add-in for Google Workspace is the G Suite add-in under its new name since version 2.6.791 in December 2021. Whether an old license gets the current version depends on your update subscription.
Can I work with a shared or secondary calendar?
Excel Add-in for Google Workspace works through the signed-in Google account, so try the shared calendar you need during the 30-day trial before buying.
Is my Google password stored in the workbook?
Excel Add-in for Google Workspace never sees your password; you type it into Google's own login window. The connection page has check boxes for whether the connection and security info are saved in the workbook.
System Requirements
- Microsoft Excel 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019, 2021 or 2024 for Windows
- .NET Framework 4.0 or later and Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime
- Administrator rights to install
- A Google account with Contacts, Calendar or Tasks
Conclusion
Excel Add-in for Google Workspace is worth $179.95 for people who regularly bulk-edit Google Contacts or report on Google Calendar in Excel: editing records in place beats repeating Google's export-and-import route every time. It's a poor fit if you were hoping for a Google Sheets connector, need it only once, or don't use Windows Excel. Test your own contacts and calendars in the 30-day trial.
