Google Sheets Organizational Chart uses information between 2 and 3 columns (columns A to C)
- Column C, the Description column is information that shows up when you move a mouse over a name on the chart
This instruction will illustrate the relationship between employees and managers with an optional additional description if desired as an example
A few things to keep in mind before you begin:
- The order of how the names are input will not affect the chart as long as you have the relationship between column A and column B correct
- It is case sensitive, ie 'Lisa' vs 'lisa' will be read as two different names
- If you forget to input some names, you can always come back and add more
