Spreadsheets and Dart overview
Link Dart with spreadsheets to pull in any context into projects and tasks. Dart's importer works with spreadsheets combined in order to bring helpful AI features to your work.
What are spreadsheets?
Spreadsheets are digital tools used for storing, organizing, and manipulating data. They are composed of rows and columns that form cells, where data can be entered and kept. These cells can contain numbers, text, or other more complicated data types. Spreadsheets are widely used in pretty much every field from finance to education and even personal use, offering a versatile platform for tasks like task tracking, project planning, accounting, data analysis, inventory management, and more. Google Spreadsheets and Microsoft Excel are the two most common spreadsheet applications in use, and data can be imported or exported to them through the standard CSV format among others.
