Create and import scatter charts with multiple x-series in Google Sheets

Google Sheets now supports creating and editing scatter charts with multiple independent x-series. This update allows users to map separate data series to their own unique x-axis, rather than forcing all series in a single chart to share the same horizontal axis domain.

Additionally, this feature improves import and export compatibility with Microsoft Excel. Previously, importing Excel files with multiple x-series scatter charts into Google Sheets would drop the extra axes and revert to a single x-axis. Now, these configurations are accurately preserved when moving spreadsheets between platforms.

Updated options to better view Google Calendar on large monitors

To provide users with more control over their viewing experience, we’re updating information density options for the calendar grid. These updates allow users to customize how calendar events scale on their screens to accommodate various monitor sizes and personal preferences.

The available information density options now include:

  • Responsive to your screen: Your calendar dynamically scales and enlarges events to fill larger monitors, which makes events easier to read.
  • Comfortable: Your calendar keeps the standard layout with traditional spacing, regardless of your screen size.
  • Compact: Your calendar shows a denser view with tighter spacing, which allows you to see more events at once.

Getting started

  • Admins: There is no admin control for this feature.
  • End users: Change your density settings from the Appearance settings menu in Calendar on the web. Visit the Help Center to learn more.
