Equals

Ready to bend the rules of SaaS? Next week…

New week, new updates. Here's your Wrap of what we shipped last week in Equals: New We’re continuing to fine-tune the querying experience based on feedback: • We've added new icons in the connections panel for clearer navigation • An expanded full-screen SQL editor provides more room for queries • You can now access AI Assist directly from the query editor • It's easier to apply query filters with new labels to distinguish columns in your query, columns in your data schema, and joined columns Improved New icons highlight sorts and filters applied to your connected sheets, providing a visual indication of how your output data is organized. Fixed • Chart labels are never truncated • Workbooks with array formulas can be reliably imported • Fixed an issue filtering on joined columns in the query builder And that's a Wrap! Until next time, happy building.

We're back with this week's Wrap of what's new (and what's better) in Equals. New We’re listening to your feedback and fine-tuning the querying experience: • Headers are now restyled to more clearly identify queried output (purple), calculated columns (green), and data notes (yellow) • We’ve improved datasource joins to make each step more intuitive • We've streamlined the process of adding and removing filters on connected sheets Improved • You'll find links to relevant datasources from the schema overview in the table browser Fixed • You can now add an OR criteria after several ANDs in query builder filters And that's your Wrap! See you next week—same time, same place.

Be wary of benchmarks. Why? Because every business is different. Different business models, sales motions, ICPs, churn dynamics. The list goes on. What's true for one business may not apply to yours—so use benchmarks as a sanity check, not a blueprint.

The fireworks may be over, but we’re just getting started. It's time for your Wrap of what's new in Equals: New As promised, Dashboards V2 is now live!

Fixed • Connection strings can now be modified after save during datasource setup • Charts automatically re-render on scroll That's all for now. Watch this space for more Dashboards improvements shipping soon!

The more successful something is, the more improvements it needs. Dashboards was our most successful new feature in Equals. And it because of that, it's also been the area we've gotten the most feedback and requests. This week we took a big step forward improving dashboards. We launched over the course of the week: 1) Major design improvements. Dashboards are a heck of a lot nicer to view now. 2) Improvements to our AI summaries, and elements like cells which now include comparisons. 3) Embeds! Embed a dashboard in Notion, Coda, and any other tool that supports embeds. Here's a little walk through of me working with a dashboard to run a startup. It's got an ARR build, a funnel view, product engagement stats, and financials. All in the same place. Fully automated. Built in a spreadsheet. ⚡️

Operationalizing your ARR is where the rubber meets the road. Without a regular reporting rhythm for stakeholders to consume, understand, and act on ARR, your business will stay at a standstill. When done right, it ensures everyone is steering towards the same goal. Check out the latest installment of the Ultimate Guide to ARR for a crash course on setting up a great ARR reporting system, with lessons learned from early Intercom and Facebook. Link in comments 👇
