In our opinion, the ability to add ratings can provide several benefits. When working on collaborative projects, teams can use these ratings to collectively assess and prioritise options. This can streamline decision-making processes.
Ratings in Google Sheets can be used to collect feedback and conduct surveys more efficiently. For example, you can create surveys with rating questions and automatically aggregate and analyse responses within the spreadsheet.
When combined with Google Sheets’ data analysis and visualisation tools, such as charts and graphs, these ratings can provide deeper insights into trends and patterns.
Overall, it has the potential to enhance the functionality and usability of Google Sheets for a variety of tasks.
Google recently announced the ability to add emoji reactions to comments in Google Sheets. This allows users to quickly convey their thoughts about the content in spreadsheets. The addition of emoji reactions to comments in Google Sheets can offer several benefits for collaboration and communication within the platform. For instance, emoji reactions can streamline communication in collaborative spreadsheet projects. Also, emojis can make interactions more engaging and expressive.
