Hey Product Hunt family 👋 In today’s world, businesses revolve around data, and spreadsheets remain the most flexible way to analyze and share it. But they haven’t changed in a long time. Getting a spreadsheet off the ground, making it look good, and sharing them is hard. Think of all the times you copy-pasted tables, or had to import a CSV to get the latest update from your analytics tool, or took a screenshot of a chart to fit in your report. That’s why I’m particularly excited to support the PH launch of Rows 2.0. They make spreadsheets easy and pretty. Today Rows is announcing a big upgrade to its 2.0 version, focused on making data even easier to use and share. There’s new ways to build tables with data, they launched an API, their new editor is very smooth, and those chart embeds are making their way into Notion pages. Oh and btw, Rows works seamlessly with Open AI. Check out the 10 ways to use GPT-3 inside your spreadsheet. 🤯 https://twitter.com/RowsHQ/statu... The Rows team is here all day to answer any questions you may have, so don't be shy :)

@thisiskp_ Thanks, KP for the hunt! Hi Product Hunt community. I’m Humberto, the CEO of Rows. 12 months ago we released Rows to the public. Rows 1.0 presented the first spreadsheet with built-in Integrations and a great sharing experience that transforms spreadsheets into mobile-friendly, interactive pages. We’re on a journey to upgrade legacy spreadsheet software. They are a magnet for copy-pasting and slow data entry, and after all that hard work the result is still ugly. The 2000s were a long time ago, who wants nasty charts hovering over tables? Your audience deserves better. Rows 2.0 doubles-down on our mission: to simplify how people use spreadsheets to import data, analyze it and turn it into beautiful reports. This major update includes: ⬇️ Import - Data Tables. Our new Wizard imports data from any of our +45 integrations and generates a dynamic Data Table, without the need for formulas. A built-in scheduler refreshes table data automatically, even while you’re away! - More Analytics. Our BigQuery integration imports tables and runs SQL queries. It’s perfect for recurrent data analysis and reporting. This is great for Analysts, Marketers, PMs and Managers alike. - Endless extensibility. We released connectors for Zapier, Make.com, and a REST API. Connect Rows to Typeform, Airtable, GSheets, and more! - Better importing, with fast XLS/CSV file handling. 🍳Transform - Brand new editor grid. Enjoy pixel-level scrolling for the smoothest reading experience. Compose your reports with Pages, Conditional Formatting, Freeze Panes, and more. - Next-level mobile experience. Charts look terrific on your phone with a new responsive layout. Tables too! - Second brain. Our OpenAI integration gives you the power of AI so that you can classify, summarize, translate, and generate data in the spreadsheet. Use it via our Wizard or with the ASK_OPENAI() function. 🫴Share - Embedding. Effortlessly embed your Tables and Charts into Notion, Confluence, or anywhere on the web. Embedding is great for team docs and client-facing calculators! - More sharing options. Collaborate together with customers using the guest feature, or invite them to work with you as full members of your workspace. Thank you for your support and feedback! Both the team and I will be here today for your questions and thoughts on the product. Humberto Co-founder, Rows

I've been using Rows for several years now and I can honestly say it's the best way to work with spreadsheets. 📊 So I'm excited to see the new 2.0 version launch on PH today! 🔥There are so many new features to explore, from the API to the chart embeds, and the GPT-3 integration is just mind-blowing. Congrats @hayrespereira, @torbschulz, @henrique_cruz1 and all the team. You rock! 🤩

Rows looks amazing! I have a question as a heavy Coda user: what does Rows offer that Coda does not? I don't mean this in an offensive way, I'm honestly wondering because I haven't used Rows much but use Coda a lot and it seems Rows perfectly overlaps with what Coda offers, but Coda offers extra features as well. I might be totally off here so please let me know what I'm missing!

@anna_0x Great question! Rows is a full spreadsheet that supports all spreadsheet Excel-like functions and the open formula language. It also offers more connectivity options, esp. more native integrations and web request functions, compared to Coda. You can use Rows with Coda, e.g. you can embed Rows charts or tables in your Coda doc, or you can use a Coda pack built by the community: https://coda.io/packs/rows-19667. Hope this helps. Feel free to reach out to me if you have further questions.
Anna Filou
@torbschulz that helps, somewhat! In the meantime I logged into Rows and played around for a few minutes and it seems that, compared to Coda, Rows: - makes it a lot easier / more intuitive to pull data from other apps - is not a database, so each column doesn't have to have the same type of data in every single cell - is more geared toward making “mini apps/tools” that you can share with others. - offers a lot of built-in integrations that you rarely find in mass-market tools but are very useful for businesses (e.g. VAT validation)
Torben Schulz

@anna_0x Thanks for trying Rows and for sharing your thoughts! The only thing I'd add is that rather than being geared toward making “mini apps/tools”, it's geared toward running analysis and creating reports that you can share with others. If that makes sense.

This is amazing! Finally a REST API - so excited for this 🔥

Ok, wow! The ASK_OPENAI() is just a super smart way of applying OpenAI to spreadsheets. Congrats on being the first ones to crack this!!

@ivo_scherkamp ASK_OPENAI() is great for sentiment analysis, summarising, and translating texts! We also have CREATE_LIST_OPENAI(),specifically designed to create dummy lists and tables for testing purposes

As a former developer I've been following Rows from the sidelines ever since due to still being a regular user and I got to say, wow, the pace of innovation has only been increasing and I guess I'll remain a happy user, congrats team

I have been using Rows from many years, I love how the team is advancing space which doesn't move very fast lately. With addition of Rows API it has now even more room for developers. I am looking forward trying the Looker integration. Keep up the great work!

Rows is an absolute beast of a spreadsheet. From the killer new features to the UI it breathes new air into one of the most important business software applications of today's world. Rows brings a lot of new innovations to the table; however, my favorite has to be the ability to use APIs from within the cells. This makes it go beyond a spreadsheet and gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "no code platform". You can also see the impact of such a technology in the very quick iterations of pumping out of new, useful features. For example, they now support OpenAI integration from within the cells! Additionally, you get all the features you would expect from the traditional spreadsheet as well, but only better! Charts, multiple tables, HTTP API (that allows you to use Rows as a headless spreadsheet) ... and even the grid system have all been redesigned for the modern world. They also have the awesome Rows Community (https://rows.com/community/explo...) where users share their spreadsheets that others can view or fork for their own use! If you haven't already done so, you should definitely give it a try!
