Connected data

Connect directly to your data. No more manually updating spreadsheets.

Native database connections

Connect PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Snowflake, BigQuery, and more. Pull whole tables into the grid and keep them in sync.

Scheduled refresh

Sheets pull the latest data on a schedule you set. Monday’s report is current before anyone opens it.

One source of truth

Because the data is connected rather than copied, everyone is looking at the same numbers.

AI Agent

Orchestrate everything with our AI Agent.

Make changes by hand or automate everything with AI. It’s your choice.

Automate the frustrating parts

Imports, cleanup, joins, and recurring reports run on their own. Set them up once and let the agent handle the busywork.

Check every detail that matters

Every change the agent makes lands in the sheet where you can see it. Review the numbers, adjust anything, and rerun.

Manual when you want it

It’s still your spreadsheet. Edit any cell by hand at any time, and mix manual work with automation however you like.

How Quadratic compares.

Excel and Google Sheets were designed decades ago for much smaller data. Here’s where they differ.

Big data FAQs

How much data can Quadratic handle?

Quadratic works with datasets of 100 million rows, about 100x the limit of Excel and far beyond the 10-million-cell cap in Google Sheets. Sorting, filtering, and scrolling stay fast at that size.

Can I stop people from downloading or exporting data?

Yes. Team admins can turn off downloads and exports, so members can analyze data in Quadratic without being able to take a copy out. Permissions are set per file and can be revoked at any time.

Can I connect to a database or data warehouse?

Yes. Quadratic connects natively to PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Snowflake, BigQuery, and more. Pull live data into the grid and keep it fresh on a schedule. See all connections.

What file formats can I import?

You can drag and drop CSV, Parquet, Excel (XLSX), and PDF files directly into a sheet, including multi-gigabyte files that Excel and Google Sheets refuse to open.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. Everything works with regular spreadsheet skills. Ask AI in plain English and it does the heavy lifting, with every change visible in the sheet so you can review it. Technical teammates can go deeper when they want to.

How is this different from a BI tool?

BI tools require modeling data before anyone can explore it, and the output is a dashboard rather than a place to work. Quadratic keeps the flexibility of a spreadsheet at a much larger scale, so your team can do ad-hoc analysis on the full dataset.

Is Quadratic built for teams?

Yes. Quadratic has shared team workspaces, per-file permissions, admin-set export controls, and real-time collaboration. It is also SOC 2 and HIPAA certified. Book a demo to talk through your team’s requirements.
