One cell from Google Sheets big on your TV | Gibeon

One cell from Google Sheets, big on your TV

Not a whole table. Not a dashboard. One number, one status, one value — readable from 5 meters. For the queue at the counter, today's revenue, the inventory status of the busiest SKU. For everything you want to see first when you walk in.

The story

Cell B3 lives in a sheet only you have open. The shop floor needs the scoreboard. The counter wants to see the queue. The store managers want to know if the target is hit.

Until now your options were: a dashboard tool costing over a hundred euros a month for one TV, a laptop with the sheet kept open, or an iframe embed of the whole sheet where nobody can find the right number. None of those feels right.

Gibeon does one thing: take cell B3, show it big, refresh every 15 minutes. Optionally with a label on top ("Queue today") and a color that follows a threshold — green below 10, orange 10-20, red above.

How it works

Setup for one KPI tile, step by step.

  1. Create a free Gibeon account and sign in with Google.
  2. Select your sheet → tab → exact cell (e.g. Dashboard!B3).
  3. Pick the Big KPI preset.
  4. Optionally: add a label ("Queue today") and set conditional colors.
  5. Drag onto a screen or playlist.

Frequently asked questions

Can I set conditional colors?

Yes. Set thresholds like "green below 10, orange 10-20, red above" and Gibeon colors the number automatically. For queue times, inventory alerts, SLA numbers.

Does it work with formulas?

Yes. The cell is read every 15 minutes, and Google evaluates formulas before that read. What you see in your sheet, your screens see — including lookups, IMPORTRANGE, QUERY, and everything Sheets can do.

What if the cell is empty?

You pick what happens: keep the previous value until the cell gets one again, show fallback text ("No data"), or skip the item entirely in the playlist.

Can I show multiple cells on one screen?

Yes. Stack 2-4 KPI tiles side by side in the same playlist or layout. For multi-metric dashboards see also /google-sheets-dashboard-tv.

How secure is this?

We store no sheet content except the last fetched value, only for the offline fallback. Access via Google OAuth — Gibeon gets read access only to the sheets you explicitly select. You can revoke access any time in your Google account settings.

What if I want to change the label?

We show the label separately from the cell value — change it in Gibeon, not in your sheet. Your sheet stays clean and your screen stays readable.

Does this work on a Smart TV without kiosk software?

Yes. Our player runs in any modern browser, on Smart TV with Google TV, on Chromecast, on Android sticks, and on Apple TV. No specific hardware needed.
