Sumo-lingerQ: More charts and options
I'm trying to come up with possible usecases because I do like the look of your charts and what may come in the future.
Can you clarify a few things:
1 - Do/will you have "slicer" functionality - within the chart
2 - Do/will you have:
-combo charts
-scorecards
-gauge
-table charts
3 - are we restrcited to one chart per page, or can we include severale charts and design the layout i.e. create a dashboard type page, customise chart areas, add scorecards, combo charts, data tables etc.
The main issue for me is need to make public the google sheet in order to inegrate with Instchart. I suppose manually uploading an excel/csv would be the workaround.

Thanks for taking the time to check out InstaCharts and ask some questions! I'm happy to hear you like the look of our charts.
I think most of your questions relate to dashboards. We currently do not offer dashboards or multiple charts per page. We may add this in the future, no ETA on when this will be completed however. There is a ticket for dashboards, you can follow its progress here if you'd like: https://instacharts.canny.io/feature-requests/p/create-dashboards
Since we don't offer dashboards, we also don't have dashboard related charting features such as slicers, scorecards, or gauge charts.
Table based charts: InstaCharts offers 2 table based charts: Heatmap and Mekko Charts. You can also share or embed a datatable; it will look something like this: https://instacharts.io/features/datatables
InstaCharts currently does not have combo charts. I have added this to our feature board, no ETA on when it will be completed. You can follow its progress here if you'd like: https://instacharts.canny.io/feature-requests/p/combo-charts
And lastly what I hope is good news! To sync with InstaCharts, you do not have to share your google sheet publicly; instead you can share it with just our InstaCharts service account, charts@instacharts.iam.gserviceaccount.com. Full directions can be found here: https://instacharts.io/docs/guides/import-google-sheets/#share-with-the-instacharts-account
Thanks for reaching out and let me know if you have any more questions!
