Did you try it? Yes, getting good data is a challenge but that's not one they can solve in Sheets. Making a graph is also not always one button, unless you have very simple data. I found it immediately useful. They've solved some UX and discovery issues around creating charts. And it's not _just_ charts... they're answering questions and identifying trends within the data. e.g. I threw some pretty basic data at this and it told me “Flights” contains a yearly cycle: “Flights” increases until May 1, decreases until October 1, and increases until December 1. That's pretty handy. YMMV, but this is awesome.

Tableau did some research in this area, and found NLP queries were much faster: https://pasteboard.co/dPeoSHM1s.png https://pasteboard.co/dPeoSHM1s.png

To be honest no, I don't use sheets unless it's for something quick and dirty, it just doesn't compare to excel. In terms of machine learning I have tried IBM Watson with sets of data, interesting concept but I found myself still juggling the data to get what I wanted. I currently use Tableau.
