Charts and Graphs: Spreadsheets allow the representation of data visually through charts and graphs. These visual elements enhance data interpretation and presentation.

Hyperlinks: Spreadsheets support hyperlinks, enabling users to link to external documents, websites, or other sheets within the same workbook for easy navigation.
