Spreadsheet data can tell compelling stories when placed into charts
and other visualizations. Today we’re excited to announce a new editor
for charts, redesigned from the ground up as well as a set of new chart
types. Check out our video to see these charts in action:
New and improved chart types
We’ve added annotated time-lines, organizational charts, gauges, our popular motion chart (which makes it easy to visualize data changing over time) and more to our chart types.
We’ve also given our existing charts a more professional look and feel with with a refreshed color palette, improved layout and new customization options.
New charts editor
With these new chart types, we’ve also added a new charts editor that suggests recommended charts, matches your data labels and headers, auto selects colors, has a full size preview pane and more. The editor is designed to help you create the chart you need in just a few clicks.
The Start tab has basic options, including up to four recommended charts based on the data you selected. For example, if you have a charts with the following five columns: date, number, text, number, text, the first recommended chart will be an annotated timeline.
The “Charts” tab includes the full gallery of new and redesigned charts, and the “Customize” tab includes all of the advanced customization options.
Improved publishing
It’s easy to show charts you’ve created in spreadsheets with the world. Publish your interactive chart on any webpage and it will update as you change the data in your spreadsheet. Click the play button below:

El lado creativo de Google Docs
Explota el lado creativo de Google Docs
Escrito por Berto Pena, el 1 Marzo 2010
Cada vez estoy más convencido de que utilizo mal ciertas herramientas y aplicaciones de Google. A pesar de manejar a diario unas cuantas sé que hay otras a las que no les estoy sacando todo el provecho que podría. Y están ahí, son gratis y funcionan muy bien. (No sé si te pasará lo mismo.)
Google Docs es una de las aplicaciones que tengo poco explotadas. La utilizo sí, pero lo justo y echándole poca imaginación. Y lo cierto es que en los últimos meses ha pegado un notable estirón. Con la funcionalidad de compartir carpetas y subir cualquier documento ha multiplicado sus posibilidades a la hora de colaborar y trabajar junto a otras personas.
Porque “compartir” es la palabra clave para colaborar… en lugar de enviar. Cada vez se envían menos documentos corrientes (por Email, por FTP, etc.) y se comparte más. Es más rápido, conveniente y eficiente, y se evita la confusión y la duplicidad de las versiones y distintas las correcciones. Y con GDocs lo tenemos ahí, a mano.
Pensando en los distintos usos que se le podían dar a Google Docs (con la opción de compartir) se me ocurrían unos cuantos que tal vez te valgan o te sugieran otros nuevos para tus actuales o tus futuros proyectos.
¿Te animas a completar la lista con tu aportación? Seguro que se te ocurre algún otro uso más creativo a Google Docs.
