Better tables and charts in the Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides Android apps
August 10th, 2016 | Published in Google Apps, Google Docs
The latest releases of the Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides apps for Android make it easy to create tables and improve the look of charts on your mobile phone or tablet.
For instance, starting today, when you copy a body of cells in Sheets and paste it into Docs or Slides, that selection will render as a fully-formatted table, gridlines and all. This will only work for selections of fewer than 400 cells; anything larger will be pasted in a tab-separated format. Note that you will need to update all three apps—Docs, Sheets, and Slides—for this to work.
We’ve also made improvements to the technology that powers charts in Sheets, so you may notice small changes to the way your charts are drawn.
Download the latest versions of the Docs, Sheets, and Slides Android apps from the Google Play Store.
