Last year we’d integrated Google Docs with our popular business apps Zoho CRM, Projects etc., Our users loved this new initiative and came up with some excellent suggestions on further enhancements. The most popular requests was to provide an option to import their documents from Google docs into our productivity apps.

We’re happy to announce that you can now import your documents, excel sheets, presentations from Google Docs into Zoho Writer, Sheet, Show.

Zoho Sheet has been supporting spreadsheets with 1 million cells for quite sometime now. So if your spreadsheet at Google docs is that big you can import it into Zoho Sheet and get on with editing it.

Here is the comparison view of a sample 2 MB spreadsheet in Google Docs and Zoho Sheet:



If you’re a Google user and would like to try out Zoho, you can sign in with your Google Credentials and import your existing Google documents.…


New File menu in Zoho Sheet and IE 9 support

If you are a regular user of

Zoho Sheet
 and you sign in to Zoho Sheet today, the very first thing you will notice is that the sidebar on the left, which lists your files, is closed by default. You will also notice a new File menu on the toolbar. File related operations such as New, Open, Save, Print, Import, Export, Version, etc., can be accessed through this menu. 

There are 2 main reasons for this change. 

  1. You get more space for your spreadsheet. 
  2. We are inching towards a consistent user experience across Writer, Sheet and Show. Zoho Writer already has this File menu.
Here is a video depicting the most common usage of the File menu and the sidebar. More details available at forums.zoho.com/topic/file-menu-in-zoho-sheet.


How the UK Govt and a Wildlife Reserve are using Zoho Sheet

With this post, we’d like to showcase two completely distinct but interesting ways in which Zoho Sheet is being used.


1. Data.gov.uk

Uses Zoho Sheet’s

Online Viewer API
to open public spreadsheet files on the browser.
The UK government had opened up its data for other people to re-use. This is only about non-personal, non-sensitive data – information like the list of schools, crime rates or the performance of your council.

Data.gov.uk
is the first step in creating a network of re-useable government data. It is a key part of the UK Government’s work on Transparency which is being lead by the Transparency Board.
You will find over 5,400 public datasets about how governments spends money. Most of these are in the form of CSV and XLS files.…

Two useful mouse techniques for your spreadsheets!

After a marathon effort to load a million cells spreadsheet in Zoho Sheet, we are onto a sprint mode. A lot of exciting and nitty-gritty features are in the making. Meanwhile, we’ve added a couple of features that can make you more efficient.

Drag-n-Drop cells:

We have now made it possible to do cut-n-paste actions using your mouse. 


To move a cell or contiguous range of cells, select it and position your mouse over the selection outline. The mouse cursor will change to ”move” pointer . Now drag the selection by holding down the mouse button. Once you reach the target cell, release the button in order to paste the content.

Similarly, to copy a cell or range, hold down the CTRL key either before you start or as you drag the selection.

Every year, we push out hundreds of updates to our applications. Some small, some large, some that stand out and some that go under the hood. A good percentage of our updates go under the hood. For such updates, users may not notice anything visually, but they are significant and lay out a solid foundation for things to come in the future. One such updates is now rolled out in Zoho Sheet.

When you login to Zoho Sheet, you may not notice any change visually. But a lot has changed recently at the backend. If you use the app frequently, you will very much notice the difference. I am talking primarily about performance of the app. We changed the backend engine to significantly improve the performance. Zoho Sheet can now load large spreadsheets with great response times.…
