We’re working hard to ensure that Google Sheets meets your business needs. As part of that effort, today we’re introducing several enterprise-friendly features that you’ve been asking for in Sheets on the web, Android, and iOS:
Rotated textYou can now rotate the text in a cell in Sheets (Format > Text rotation). This is especially useful when you need to fit long header names into thin columns, or when you simply want to fit more text on a single screen.
Accounting number formatsWe’re making it easier to read your budgets, expense reports, and other spreadsheets containing monetary amounts by aligning the currency symbols within them (Format > Number > Accounting). We’re also making improvements to the way numbers, decimal points, and repeated characters line up to make them simpler to scan and analyze.
More border stylesYou can now choose from several new border styles in Sheets, including various thicknesses and double borders, which are commonly used in financial statements like balance sheets (Toolbar > Borders > Border styles).
Additional improvements on mobileIn addition to the features described above, we’re also launching the following improvements to our mobile apps:
- Support for using a mouse with the Sheets Android app
- Ability to view and select existing custom colors in the Sheets Android app
- Ability to drag and drop rows and columns in the Sheets Android and iOS apps
- Formatting suggestions in Explore in the Sheets iOS app
