Google Sheets adds automatic charts, Docs & Slides sync, improved shortcuts and more

Google Drive is full of powerful tools, and Sheets is one that many rely on as an alternative to Microsoft Excel. Today, Google is debuting several new features for Sheets that are bound to become incredibly useful to its users. The first major update Sheets gets today is the ability to automatically create charts based on your various spreadsheets, taking the work off of your back and throwing it on to Google's powerful machine learning. Simply using the "explore" option, users can ask Google natural language questions based on their spreadsheet, "bar chart for ice cream sales" for example, and Google will present them with a chart that uses that data. This works a lot like Sheet's feature that uses natural language questions in place of complex formulas to pull data from complicated spreadsheets.
