Visualize your data with Charts in Google Sites

You can now display charts directly in Google Sites. Once you select a spreadsheet, the editor picks existing charts from the spreadsheet to embed into a Site.You can decide to choose between two modes Live and Snapshot to show the data.
– Live provides you with dynamic charts. Whenever the chart is loaded in the Site, the chart will display the most recent data in the spreadsheet. This is very useful in cases when the spreadsheet data is updated manually or using a script.
– Snapshot means just that. It’s a snapshot at a point in time, so the chart will store and display the exact same data, regardless of whether you make changes to the underlying data sheet.

How to access what’s new:
When editing a page, click ‘Insert Menu’ and choose ‘Charts’.For more information:
