Using DUST Function in Google Spreadsheets: Configuration Guide

·Feb 24, 2025 05:19 PM·

Hello For spreadsheets integrations https://docs.dust.tt/docs/beta-google-spreadsheets The videos shows function called DUST, but when following the documentation: it can be showed through sidebars. Any configurations I should do to be able to use function "DUST" same as in the demo video in the link?

Hello Mahmoud Mubarak 👋 The video is not fully up to date, we had to update the extension as the cells were reloading every time the page was loaded - leading to very hight token consumption. The current way of using Dust x Gsheet is through the side menu 😊

Thanks for the update, Remi. Sharing some solution that might be insightful from a tool (numerous AI) we already use: They put a button in the sidebar to replace the formulas with their values (so, it's user responsibility)

Hi! Does the script for building the =DUST function still exist? I attempted to rebuild it, but it seems to be blocked.

Doesn't exist anymore - what do you mean by seems to be blocked ? We're not blocking you to code anything on our API 🙂

Yes this could be a solution indeed. Main thing being a lot of our users are not that technical and don't really understand what they are doing when copy/pasting the script

We're seen a LOT of overusage when releasing the function version of the script. Tens of thousands of calls, workspaces blocked, etc.

Well i tried several times to build a script for an =DUST function, always getting errors. The goal as Mahmoud said is to copy in value afterwards to avoid spamming API calls
