Reports
A report is a document built from a sheet: metrics, charts, tables, and prose, frozen at the moment it was generated. Where a sheet answers "what is the data", a report answers "what did the data say on Monday", and keeps answering it even after the sheet moves on.
What goes in a report
Reports compose five components:
| Component | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Metric | One number with a label, like "412 qualified leads". |
| Stats | A row of related metrics. |
| Chart | Bar, line, area, or pie over sheet data. |
| Data table | Rows with optional inline bars, dot scales, and rank-by sorting. |
| Callout | A highlighted note in the narrative. |
Each component snapshots up to 500 rows from the sheet. Reports cite, sheets store. A report is meant to carry the summary and link back to the sheet for the full data.
Versions freeze the story
Regenerating a report creates a new version. Old versions keep their frozen data, so "the numbers we reported last week" is a version you can open, not an argument. This is the same point-in-time discipline sheets apply to rows, applied to reporting.
Deliver by email
A report chain can end with email delivery to up to 20 recipients. Combined with a schedule, that is a self-updating weekly report: rebuild from the sheet, freeze the new version, send it. Nobody pastes numbers into a document on Friday afternoon.
Author with an agent
Reports are generated, not hand-assembled. Describe what you want ("a report on this quarter's pipeline by industry, with a chart of leads per week") to the in-app agent or any connected agent, and it builds the components from the sheet. See Work with AI agents.
