GRID is a productivity tool that transforms spreadsheets into interactive, visually dynamic web documents. GRID makes sharing and presenting spreadsheet data and models smart, quick, and exceptionally valuable.
@dwilfling Thanks Dirk! No - currently, GRID only supports data from spreadsheets (Microsoft Excel™ (xlsx), Google Sheets™ and flat CSV files). So, if you can get your data into a spreadsheet, GRID should work for you 🤗
I tried this in beta and it's a great way to do a pitch deck - you can put your assumptions right into the financial model and let investors play with what they think reasonable assumptions are to see the potential outcomes. (It's a much better way to handle models since early stage investors are looking for your assumptions, not blindly believing your outputs!).
Look forward to this type of "interactable data" make its way into more documents.
@yehoshua_zlotogorski Thanks Yehoshua! As you can probably imagine, we've seen GRID being used for all sorts of purposes and usecases that we weren't necessarily expecting when we started our beta.
Our most common usecases can be split into three categories: reporting, model presentation and calculators. So you're absolutely right on investor reporting, we've seen that and a wide variety of reports being created by people who up until now were pulling together data from spreadsheets and combining that with narrative in either a text editor or presentation software.
Model presentation is probably the usecase that we were anticipating the most, and where a lot of GRID's features really shine - here, we've seen teams pull together their business models, growth models, scenario analyses and more. We've gotten a lot of great feedback from our users who build models: whereas before they might have done an analysis in Excel that would show f.ex. 3 different scenarios and then they would talk through those in a presentation format, with GRID they're providing their colleagues with a deeper understanding of what goes into the analysis, and allowing them to play around with the assumptions and getting a much better "feel" for the data.
Lastly, we're seeing *a lot* of calculators being built in GRID - again for a variety of reasons and across different types of businesses, e.g. price calculators, various types of "look up" tools and more. Often the end goal for these users is to build something useful for their audience or prospective clients and then embed that onto their own sites. This has been a super exciting usecase for us, because a lot of our calculator builders are people who don't necessarily have a strong technical background but have been using spreadsheets forever - and they are now building really powerful, interactive tools for their businesses without needing to hire external help or writing any code.
