Here are a few quick musings about this latest offering from Google:
The Good
- Free! (always nice)
- Imports from Excel fairly well (some things did not quite make it, but maybe they will fix that in future releases)
- Very easy to use
- Ability for multiple people to view the same sheet and chat about it (online collaboration very easy)
- Quite a few functions (but not print function and missing conditional formatting 🙁 )
The Bad
- No pivot table ability (couldn’t find it anyway)
- No right-mouse capabilities (sigh)
- No charts and graphs
- Chat and collaboration could be messy
Overall, it is certainly worth the price (did I mention it is free). However, open Office is also free and offers quite a bit more with the “Excel-like” Calc spreadsheet program. Anyway, stay tuned as we look a little deeper into this.
