New Features: Insert Buttons, xlsx support and time zone preference

We put out a new version last week. You can now insert buttons in your spreadsheets to trigger VBA Macro. This helps you create nice spreadsheet based applications. Our macro functionality will be enhanced further to give you more power. Here is a sample spreadsheet with buttons: http://public.sheet.zoho.com/public/zohosheet/bmi-calculator.

We previously supported import of xlsx files (The new excel format). Now, export to xlsx is also supported. Files in xlsx format are now supported via our APIs as well.

With this update, your Time Zone preference set in accounts.zoho.com is now taken into account while displaying date/time both on our interface and while using functions like NOW() and TODAY().

You will also notice a close icon at the top of the spreadsheet. Some of our users requested for this feature as they wanted to just close the spreadsheet after working on it. You need not sign out or click on a new spreadsheet to just close a spreadsheet.

For more information on these, refer our blog post and our What's New page.

Hope you find these features useful. Let us know what you think on these.
