This post is part of my Today I learned series in which I share all my web development learnings.

Back in the days, I used to joke about people using spreadsheets for everything. Especially in larger companies; whatever can be placed in a spreadsheet will eventually land in a spreadsheet.

Thanks to Alex, today I learned, that some spreadsheet tools (Google Sheets and Excel) let us load images, too.

=IMAGE("https://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo3w.png")

I think this is pretty wild.

Google Sheet rendering image with the "IMAGE()" function.

But it might make sense to enrich sheets with images in product listings and similar things. 🤷
