A channel allows you to conceal explicit information (like numbers or messages) inside the scope of cells that you select so you can see what your calculation sheet resembles without this data. All in all, it sifts through the information that you would rather not find in your accounting sheet.
For instance, you can plan a channel that shows just cells that have numbers that are 50 or more prominent inside them and one more channel that shows just cells containing quantities of 30 or less. You could then change between these two channels to see your bookkeeping sheet in these various ways — and afterward return to your calculation sheet's unique state with its full cell information.
