Use Google Spreadsheet charts in documents and drawings plus some new chart types
Tuesday, August 9, 2011
We recently introduced a feature that allows users to copy charts from spreadsheets into documents and drawings.
We also introduced some new chart types to Google spreadsheets. We now support candlestick charts and combo charts (which allow you to show columns, lines, and area lines all on the same graph). You can also use the GeoMap chart to insert a data-driven map of the world, a continent, or a country into your spreadsheet. Our TreeMap chart is also useful for statistics.
Release track:
Rapid & Scheduled
Editions included:
Google Apps, Google Apps for Business, Government and Education
Languages included:
All languages supported by Google Spreadsheets
How to access what's new:
- Create a chart in spreadsheets.
- Select the chart by clicking on it once, which will display the chart’s name. Click the chart name or the arrow next to it to open the dropdown menu of chart actions. From the menu, select ‘Copy chart’.
- Open the document or drawing where you’d like to insert the chart and position the cursor where you’d like the chart to go. Use the Web Clipboard dropdown menu and hover over the item.
- Clicking on the chart item will paste it into the document as an image, which can then be resized, aligned, etc
