You can just have a single file with the G suite products. Through “see version history”, you can have a glimpse of the edits made to the file along with the name of the individual who made the change. Data is saved instantly in Google sheets, thus helping you to get a peace of mind.
- Seamless linking of sheets with other files
One of the best benefits of Google Sheets is that it facilitates seamless linking of sheets with other files. So, the data and the information contained in the file will always be linked, irrespective of whether the file got deleted or crashed.
- Working with plug-ins
The reason why people prefer to use excel is due to the availability of number of plug-ins that are not available on Google sheets. However, Google sheets possess “add- ons” that are wide range functionality which fulfills the role of plug-ins.
Google sheets make it very easy to manage the database needs. Integration of Google sheets API with other apps and tools can further lead to tremendous gains for the businesses as well as individuals. So, if you haven’t started using Google sheets yet, it’s time to give it a try.
