Both are in beta. The same day Claude Dashboards, in beta since 8 October, became generally available under a new name, Claude Data.[1][8] All three come with every paid plan; the cheapest, Pro, lists at US$17 a month billed annually or US$20 billed monthly, before tax.[4] Note A disclosure: this piece was researched and drafted with the help of Claude, an AI model made by Anthropic, which is the company this piece covers. TechBag’s founders chose the story and read every line. Beta Claude Sheets and Claude Whiteboards, on all paid plans Anthropic, 10 November GA Claude Data, formerly Dashboards; certified queries and live sharing still in beta Anthropic, 10 November US$17 a month for Pro, the cheapest paid plan, billed annually; US$20 monthly Anthropic plans page Off by default on Enterprise for Sheets and Whiteboards; on by default on Team Anthropic, 10 November ## What each one does, and what Anthropic says it does not do yet Sheets makes spreadsheets with tabs, formulas, formatting and drop-down lists, often from a single request such as a hiring budget. Claude edits in the cells and outlines each edit so changes can be followed, and a sheet can be shared with a team. Anthropic states the limit itself: “For now, sheets have simple spreadsheet functionality.” For “the full functionality of Excel” it points users to an .xlsx or CSV export, to its Claude for Excel add-in, or to Airtable, Asana, monday.com and Smartsheet.[1] On a whiteboard, a team adds notes and Claude groups them by theme and drafts action items; a finished board can become a document or a deck, or move to Lucid, Miro or Vani by Zoho. Claude Data needs a data connector, such as a warehouse or a CRM. A data team can certify the queries everyone should use, and charts built on them carry a “certified” badge. With live sharing, colleagues see current numbers without access to the connectors behind them, and “can’t run others with your access”. Dashboards now cache results, and keep tracked changes with rollback.[1] The posts give no row or formula limits for Sheets, no list of countries, and no date for Claude Meetings, a note-taking tool Anthropic calls “coming soon”.[1][3] ## Its own sheets, beside add-ins for Microsoft’s and Google’s Claude for Excel, PowerPoint and Word has been generally available on paid plans since 7 May, with Outlook in beta.[5] Microsoft, in turn, offers Claude models inside its own product: Copilot in Excel “supports the latest Anthropic and OpenAI models” through a model picker set to Auto by default, and a commercial customer’s admin must first allow Anthropic as an AI provider.[6] Since 6 October a Claude add-on for Google Docs, Sheets and Slides has been in beta.[7] A spreadsheet made with Claude can now sit in Claude Sheets, in Excel or in Google Sheets. Microsoft’s shares closed 2.2% lower on 10 November, the day of the launch, at US$533.16. During the session they traded as much as 3.4% below Monday’s close of US$545.18.[9] TradingKey tied the fall both to Anthropic’s new tools and to hotter-than-expected US inflation figures for October, published the same day.[10] Microsoft is also one of the suppliers buying Anthropic shares beside its IPO, US$1bn of them, according to Anthropic’s filing.[11] **Figure: Six months after its Excel add-in, Anthropic has a spreadsheet inside Claude** *Anthropic's launches of office tools, May to December 2026, including dates it has announced ahead* | Date | Event | Detail | | --- | --- | --- | | 7 May 2026 | Excel, Word, PowerPoint add-ins GA | Outlook in beta; all paid plans | | 16 Sept 2026 | Design inside every chat | Claude Design works inside every Claude conversation | | 6 Oct 2026 | Google Workspace add-on | Beta in Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, on paid plans | | 8 Oct 2026 | Dashboards in beta | Docs, Slides and Design leave beta | | 10 Nov 2026 | Sheets, Whiteboards; Data GA | Sheets and Whiteboards in beta; Dashboards renamed Claude Data | | 19 Nov 2026 | Data on for Enterprise | Claude Data turns on by default on Enterprise plans | | 14 Dec 2026 | Standalone Design closes | claude.ai/design folds into Claude | Source: Anthropic posts of 7 May, 6 and 8 October and 10 November 2026 · as of 11 November 2026 · 19 November and 14 December are dates Anthropic has set, not yet reached The same day, Anthropic let partner apps open in full beside a chat, where Claude can change an open page, row or file once the user approves. The first group is Asana, Canva, Carta, Dropbox, monday.com, Smartsheet, Vercel and Webflow, rolling out on web and desktop on all plans. These run on MCP Apps, an extension of the Model Context Protocol that works in any AI application that supports it.[2] Asana, monday.com and Smartsheet are on both lists: places to take a sheet out of Claude, and apps that now open inside it.[1][2] ## What an administrator controls On Team plans all three tools are on by default. On Enterprise plans, Sheets and Whiteboards are off by default, and Claude Data turns on by default on 19 November; each can be changed under Organization settings, Artifacts.[1] An organisation that already allows all of a connector’s tools gets its new features as they roll out, and admins can restrict those tools as before.[2] Our viewWhat to check Whether Claude Data should switch on before 19 November, and who may approve the queries that live sharing exposes to colleagues without connector access. For Sheets, test the formulas and the .xlsx export your team relies on: Anthropic calls the feature set simple for now.[1] How we did this Figures as of 11 November 2026, 8pm IST This piece was drafted with the help of Claude, an AI model made by Anthropic, which is the company it covers. Every product fact is from Anthropic’s own posts and plans page, quoted where the wording matters, and Microsoft’s description of Copilot in Excel is from its support page. We did not test the products, and give no view on which tool is better. Prices are Anthropic’s US dollar list prices, before tax; the posts give no country list, so availability outside the United States is not stated here. Microsoft’s share prices are StockAnalysis’s daily data; the 3.4% intraday fall is our arithmetic on its 10 November low and the 9 November close, and the causes of the move are TradingKey’s.
