Learn about going beyond text and numbers with Spreadsheet.com's 25+ rich data types you can choose from at the cell, range, and column levels.

Data types determine what sort of data can be in a cell and allow you to go beyond the typical alphanumeric characters and formulas. For example, you can add attachments inside cells, assign users who get notified when rows change, set a predetermined list of options for users to choose from, select from colored icons, or even relate data in one row to data from another workbook.
