How to Assign Tasks in Google Sheets

When it comes time to assign tasks in Google Sheets, there are several methods — and several shortcomings. This video will uncover the benefits and pitfalls of two ways to assign tasks in a Google Sheets project tracker, using people chips and comments.

A spreadsheet is a fine tool for making a list — the rows and columns are so well organized! But a task list? Not so much. If you have a column for a deadline or due date, the spreadsheet won't remind you when that date is approaching. There's no built-in way to mark a task complete. And once the task has been completed, there's no archiving system, so your task tracker gets full of clutter as work gets done.
