I just used this to scan the results from this survey I've been running on Times Online using Google Spreadsheets - 1,000 results so far. http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/money/article3484700.ece Thing I love/hate about Google apps is that once you've got one thing working, you start yearning for the next bit of functionality. I want colour-coded tiny icons (or even postcode-shaped polygons), and I want to be able to do them as easily as I can do this. Oh well, time to read the API properly and learn javascript.
