Google adds new features to Spreadsheets

Google has introduced some new interface elements to Google
Spreadsheets that make it easier to lock rows and sort columns. The new
sortbar is a
draggable break between your headers and data — it’s an intuitive way to create locked columns and to sort rows.

Another new feature is quick add. When you highlight a group of
numeric cells, you will find their sum in the lower right corner — this
change makes using spreadsheets a bit more interactive by allowing the
user to perform a simple calculations without writing formulas like
“=SUM(A5:A8)” in another cell.

Previously, Google Spreadsheets was only available on supported
browsers — now, regardless of your browser (supported or not), you are
at least able to view your spreadsheets. It’s too bad this application
isn’t 100% compatible with all browsers, but this is a good compromise
for now.
