Google Spreadsheets Adds Charts

Google has added a chart feature to Google Spreadsheets, giving the service its most-requested missing feature. Naturally, it isn’t as visually exciting as Office 2007’s chart feature, but if you’re used to the crap graphics from Office 2003, I guess you’ll be more than satisfied.

You get five types of charts (Columns, Bars, Lines, Pie, and Scatter), and a small number of sub-types within each (Office has 12 types, with 2-19 subtypes each).
