I played around with this the other day. I have a spreadsheet with a bunch of columns. It wasn't immediately obvious how to use the explore feature intuitively. It graphed data but not really the ones I wanted. I was also hampered by it using only about 200 pixels on the right side of the screen.
I started typing in a question but it couldn't guess what I was interested in. YMMV. Perhaps with a fairly simple spreadsheet you can intuit things? Back 10 years ago I built a google spreadsheet competitor called Numbler (well, I didn't know if was a competitor, google sheets came out a couple of months later). But one of the things I learned is that people use spreadsheets for just about everything, and it can be in the wierdest format.
- neovive 9y ago"people use spreadsheets for just about everything" That is so true. I used to do consulting for small businesses and was amazed at how non-programmers used Excel to solve so many problems outside of finance and accounting. The CRM/HR solutions were very common and interesting (e.g. Lead/prospect management, sales, timesheets, vacation schedules, etc.).
