New tools for Google Sheets charts

The Mountain View group today announces the debut of some news regarding the management of charts in Google Sheets. As always happens in these cases, the rollout is gradual and it may take up to 15 days before you can access the features. They are made available both to those in possession of a G Suite profile and to free accounts.

Google Sheets: news for formatting graphics

The first of the new features is the one that allows to click directly on any textual element of the graph to update its content or style, also as regards the individual data labels and the elements of the legend. To better understand what it is you can take a look at the animation below.



The second of the three new features announced by bigG allows you to set advanced options for formatting numbers both in data labels and in axis labels with conditional color formatting. Here's how.



Finally, in Google Sheets it is now possible to use a contextual sidebar for editing, thus simplifying the individual formatting of data labels, legend elements and individuals points.



These are the improvements introduced by Google today with the aim of improving one of its most well-known and used tools among those dedicated to productivity, a direct competitor for Excel from Microsoft and deeply integrated into Drive's cloud-based ecosystem.
