30 Days With…Google Docs: Day 19

Here we are, more than half-way through the 30 Days With…Google Docs project, and we have new features to discuss. One of the advantages of hosting an online productivity solution is that Google can easily introduce new features without having to wait for some major release or update.

What is the great new feature? Google rolled out a new pivot tables feature for Google Docs spreadsheets. I will be honest and tell you that I have absolutely no idea what a pivot table is, what it does, or why anyone cares–but apparently for spreadsheet power-users they’re all the rage. Microsoft Excel has had pivot tables for quite a while, so that is one more advanced feature Google can check off the list on its quest to rival Microsoft Office.
