Hi!
This is my first foray into Google Appsheet, and it looks like an amazing tool! Looking through the boilerplate templates, I haven't quite come across what I'm looking for. To summarize:
What I want is:
The vast majority of use-cases for Google Appsheet I've browsed are for management and productivity purposes. I want my use-case to be for the front-user to explore the outputs of my model through data visualizations, providing them the ability to write the input themselves (for example, I want my end-user to be able to write different percentages for different scenarios).
And before someone mentions dashboards: I want to avoid recoding my backend. If I can source my backend directly from G-Sheet, that'll save me time and make it super-convenient to edit and share the model with collaborators, most of whom are not programmers to begin with.
Are there case studies like this out there I can look at for reference? Is what I'm asking generally feasible in Google Appsheet?
Solved! Go to Solution.
So you just need to use Per User Per Month licencing
Your options are Appsheet Charts, something like QuickChart.io or Google Data Studio
This is one reason I moved from creating Google Sheets for my clients over to Appsheet. Also means they can't keep deleting or editing stuff too
providing them the ability to write the input themselves (for example, I want my end-user to be able to write different percentages for different scenarios).
So you'd let them create a record in Appsheet and then this could update the data or display the data in the form

Appsheet can play nice with Google Sheets formulas. But not that in most cases Appsheet does not work with 'live' data form the spreadsheet. Only with the data it had at the last sync. So if you have a spreadsheet formula of =A1+B1 in C1 then appsheet will not show the result until you sync. However if you simply change it to [A]+[B] in appsheet then appsheet can do this calculation and show you an immediate result. Apart from some complex Trig functions, I've found it MUCH easier to do calculation formulas in Appsheet.
Are there case studies like this out there I can look at for reference? Is what I'm asking generally feasible in Google Appsheet?
I've been a UK based Appsheet dev for 6 years now. So if you want to see some examples and have a virtual chat, I'm happy to oblige ๐
