Google Sheets finally lets you import 3D graphics

Google Sheets users have been able to import bar charts and graphs from other providers for some time now. However, if you try to bring up a 3D bar chart, the program will always display it in 2D instead. The Sheets team is finally removing this limitation with an update this week.

Google update a blog postadded that users should now be able to import bar charts from other applications such as Microsoft Excel in their full 3D glory to provide a “more seamless experience”.

Sheets users don’t need to click any link to enable this feature, as it will be available to personal Google accounts as well as Workspace customers. However, it may take until mid-July to fully appear on all accounts.

It’s not a game-changing feature by any measure. However, updates like these show that the Tables team is always finding new ways to improve the user experience, even if it’s just small quality-of-life changes.

Aside from this particular addition, Google Sheets has been quite busy in recent weeks introducing more useful features to the app. People who have worked with Sheets (or Excel) in the past will be familiar with formula errors in the application and how annoying they can be. An update two weeks ago made this problem a thing of the past, Thanks to Gemini.

At the same time, the program also received a huge performance boost courtesy of an update in April. According to Google, this update introduced 30% faster load times for large tables and 60% faster filtering and applying conditional formatting on large documents.

Sheets are available recently new Gemini opportunities. like many other Google apps, there are still plenty of improvements to be made that have nothing to do with AI, and it’s nice to see the Sheets team address one with an added feature this week.
