Chart functionality in Google Spreadsheets

In another move that brings Google Spreadsheet's functions up to scratch, Google has added Chart functionality in its Online Spreadsheet program. Chart functionality was one area which Google Spreadsheets was lacking.

With the new feature, you can now create a decent number of types of charts: columns, bars, lines, pie, scatter. Just select the columns you want to plot and click on the new chart icon. Charts can be saved as a PNG file.

However, Charting is only available for Firefox 1.5 and above and Internet Explorer 5.5 and above. Users of other browsers will have their charts rendered as images, thus users will not be able to edit these images..

Here is a screenshot of the new function:



Other new features include Range Names and Comments. For more information, go to http://www.google.com/google-d-s/whatsnew.html
