Tip #3 - Get Instant Insights into your data
A spreadsheet full of data can be daunting. Get summaries and charts of your data in the click of a button with Google Sheets. As you select different ranges of cells or columns, the charts update in real time. It’s kind of like having an expert in data analysis sitting next to you.
