New Google Sheets Timeline Feature

Google has been releasing features this year as part of its Smart Canvas initiative. One that caught my eye recently was around a native timeline view for Google Spreadsheets data. Do you think it will be useful? What features would you like to see?

Thanks for this! I plan to use it with my team starting this fall...

[anabellag]

I just started using this and this new functionality is amazing for a better visualization, I am using specifically to show a roadmap

[kuraikaoru]

You are an absolute life saver. Thank you so much for explaining this!

[sir_john_hammond]

I agree on the ability to drag and resize. I was thinking of getting Aeon timeline but my workplace has this feature so I think I'll just use that for some personal projects as well...

[margaret]

This would be so awesome to have on free accounts!

[umairuchan]

Thank you. That was very helpful. Hoping to see the drag feature soon.

I thought this was IT, the scheduler I've been waiting my entire life... and then learned it doesn't have the drag and resize functionality... what a let down. Hope they will add it sooner.
Also was hoping for Google Table to have something like this as well.

Keep on improving Google!

Can these feature translate onto your calendar once they are set. i.e. Start date to End date and bench marks in between?

[MizunoIronMan]

Be great if they drilled it down to hours as well

[julieherczeg]

Please tell me they will add a calendar feature soon, where you can then add them directly to your calendar

This is amazing. But .... but .... SmartSuite🙂🙂...Airtable 🤔🙂
Timelines in Spreadsheets may be useful for a lot of use cases possibly, but I don't see how Spreadsheets can be used for project/task management where TimeLines are mostly used!
SpreadSheets will stay forever and mainly be used for calculations and formula heavy use cases and never replace a relational database.
Any other thoughts?
