Google Spreadsheets gets Charts

By Vivek Puri

Google Spreadsheets is slowly catching up with EditGrid in terms of feature set. Early today morning Google added support for charts inside Spreadsheets. As a user you get pretty much all the basic capabilities including ability to plot Column, line, bar, pie, scatter charts. In spite of the new feature releases, something doesn’t feel right in the Google Spreadsheets. Maybe it is the 100 row limit or not so straightforward way to access the formula input box that doesn’t take formula input directly in the first place. Eitherway I can’t get myself around using the app.

    As a standalong app I agree it’s a subpar spreadsheet tool (the 100 row limit is pretty annoying) but being able to collaborate with others at the sametime has been great (same with docs). I was just looking for the chart feature the other day so I’m glad they finally added it.

    If you need more advanced charts (outside the Google spreadsheet as images), you can also use the free online charting service:

    Charts can be created from manually typed data, Google spreadsheets, data linked from url, etc.

    Includes basic charts, XY charts, XYZ 3D charts, Gauges, Geographical (mapping / GIS) charts, financial OHLC, and much more.
