Google Sheets makes it easy getting data from anything in your tech stack into an analysis software like Tableau
- Easier than Excel to create formulas and conditional formats, etc
- Integrates with almost anything so can be easily used as a workaround to link two programs that aren't integrated with each other
- Makes sharing work and updates very seamless
- Would love to see better AI that takes more of the guesswork out of formulas, especially for newer users
- Sometimes there are glitches with the horizontal scrollbar
Google Sheets - Simple and easy to use
- Real time collaboration
- Mapping out processes
- Simplifying formulas
- Doesn't have all the granular features Excel does.
- Can be difficult reformatting if you upload a spreadsheet.
- Annoying to add a second line in the same box.
Easiness for team and/or remote work!
- live update- no saving required
- comments- it allows team work in a very easy & effective way
- unique version- sharing a doc in real time means no confusions with final versions!
- formatting- could allow some more options taking it from Microsoft Excel
- views- it'd be great to be able to have different views of the sheet, just clicking a button ( graphics, charts, etc)
- comments- it could be improved if a report of comments could be exported for each document ( to keep a record)
I can't believe it's not Excel! And it's FREE!
- Holding Data.
- Multiple Users working on data at once.
- Apps Script allowing for custom functions.
- Processing speed when working on very large data sources.
- Better Apps Script support for newer features.
- An automatic highlight duplicates option.
Google Sheets brings our team together, from anywhere!
- Track analytics from our newsletter user engagement
- Track the progress and notes for our campaign progression
- Make it so we can share files of data and update in real time
- The various function could be more easily accessible at the top of the sheet
- The sharing feature is a little hard to navigate to make sure the right people are able to access
The Plus side of Sheets
- Sharing capability in real time
- Download in Excel, PDF or CSV
- Pivot tables
- Charts
- The only issue I miss Excel has, [Google] Sheets does not, is formulas. Formulas are better in Excel
Google Sheets - The easiest way to manage and share your data
- you can connect to third-party applications
- Its Free
- Collaborate with others on the same spreadsheet at the same time
- All data in one place
- Share with anyone you want, even if they don't have a google account.
- You can see who's editing the spreadsheet in real time
- Work on a project in real time, no matter where you are!
- Spend less time doing manual tasks and more time being creative.
- Great mobile apps
- great integration with other google products like gmail and hangouts
- you can't access information without internet connection
- takes some time to load as is a cloud tool
- desktop app is quite buggy
- Organization
- User experience
- Clarity
- A little slow at times
An efficient cloud spreadsheet tool
- Ease of accessibility being an cloud based application. Data can be accessed from anywhere and no need to keep saving the data in our local systems.
- Sharing of files becomes very easy and helps in better collaboration with teams
- It allows us to see a timeline of all the changes we have done to the document
- Much faster in performance
- Formatting in google sheets is difficult and should be definitely improved
- Charts and Pivots are not up to the mark when compared to MS Excel
- Cannot use it without internet
- Becomes little difficult to work when we have huge data and are dealing with many columns
About Google Sheets
- Documents
- Presentations
- Spreadsheets
- I don't see any room for improvement at this point
Google Sheets for a more collaborative spreadsheet
- Data filtering
- Filtering
- Pivot tables
- vlook up
- download/export function
My Experience With Google Sheets
- Google Sheets makes data manipulations easy thanks to the many formulas
- With Google Sheets, data sharing and presentation becomes easy
- The software integrates well with other Google products
- The software is web based and therefore can be accessed from anywhere
- Not so many issues to complain about. However, I have noted that Google Sheets is not mobile friendly
Long time heavy excel user. Made the switch to sheets due to the Windows operating system problems
- Autosave
- Multiple browser solution
- Ability to work on Mac and Windows
- Auto update of pivot tables
- Pivot tables are different but could be improved upon; sort, totals, filters
- When entering negative numbers as the first in a formula you need to remember to "+-100+25" instead of "-100+25"
- The power of the internet of course makes it easy to find solution, but the help function is not easily available
- Color coding changes on the cell, but there is not an easy way to click on a cell and use the selected color; like excel
- Love that [Google Sheets] has an autosave feature when editing as we all have wasted recreating a spreadsheet in Excel when your computer restarts; which it always does but the one time you are working on a huge project and you forget to hit save before you go home
- The ability to pull up through a browser at home, and one at work, doesn't require you to send emails back and forth; which needed to do with excel.
- cannot think of an scenarios where it isnt appropriate.
- Ditched Windows after the Vista debacle to Mac and hands down Google sheets is better than Sheets.
Google Sheets - Excellent for Fostering Teamwork!
- Helps coordinate accurate data
- Helps eliminate inefficiencies and unnecessary busy work
- Helps us prepare guests lists and rosters for events
- Quicker response time when scrolling (seems jarring at times)
- Better printing formatting (when you want to print a spreadsheet)
- More aesthetically pleasing (sometimes appears very basic)
Google Sheets is the Swiss Army Knife of Collaboration Tools
- Simultaneous collaboration
- User-friendly
- Occasionally lags, have to refresh screen
- Double click to autopopulate cells would be a great feature!
Google Sheets - A stripped down collaborative Excel
- Remote document access from anywhere in the world
- Collaborative document editing
- Logging history of changes so you can know who made edits
- It does not have the same functionality as Excel does when it comes to formulas and more technical aspects
- I do not like the way you need to export the sheet to save it locally - it makes it difficult to then add back the changes to the shared sheet
- I cannot get shortcut keys to work while using Sheets which should be an easy fix
Nice spreadsheet tool for collaboration
- Use it as a collaboration tool dynamic sheet that we can share with others in real-time
- We use it as a webhook to connect to other integration tools for sharing information from one system to another
- We also use it to capture online form entries from Google Forms
- We also connect it to different email software so we can run email campaigns using Google Sheet
- Collaborating spreadsheets between users real time
- Integration to other software systems
- Easy to use and quick to deploy
- The best free spreadsheet collaboration solution in the market
- Give it more smart capability
- Make it more mobile friendly
- Make it more usable via Apple products
It also gives you the opportunity to upgrade for more advanced users, so it satisfies most organizations
- Sharing control is fantastic. Can assign editors or add viewers.
- Easy to use. Love how it functions like Excel, but it's much better. Easier to use and intuitive.
- Part of the Google suite of apps. I've been using Sheets longer than Slides or Docs, and it's imbedded in our organiaztion.
- The functions could be slightly improved. Easier to access things like pivot tables.
- Would like to be able to add specific numbers together without having to use the + sign. Point and click to add would be easier. I miss that in both Excel and Sheets.
- For some reasons I don't have an easy access point to all of my sheets. They are in Google Docs, but I usually have to load up my cash flow manager (a sheet I created years ago to help me monitor cash flow) in order to access Sheets.
One of the best for statistical data.
It saves time of our working schedules updates as it's shared on the cloud and it's also very handy.
I would recommend Google Sheets for the all the educational institutions and I am sure they must be using it.
- Click and share
- Collabration
- Pivot tables refreshes automatically
- Pricing (cheap and free basic version)
- Best for statistical Data
- If the data is huge then Google Sheets is slow.
- No wide range of options for data visualizations as compare to Excel.
- For complex calculations Google Sheets is not enough
- It's on the cloud so less security. Try coming up with license version.
Not good for huge data.
Sheets & You
- low cost alternative to Office Suite
- Great for collaboration and working on spreadsheets with others
- Good way to keep others updated in the org on the report because they can look in real time for updates
- pivot table functions are not quite the same as Excel so if making the switch prepare for some learning curve
- Different formatting isn't as easily available
- minor but if used to working in separate windows because it is web based makes it difficult to quick switch between websites
It covers all the functions you would need and has a great collaboration aspect.
- Formulas.
- Organizing.
- Tracking projects.
- Formulas can be difficult to navigate
- Being able to save when not connected to the internet
- Being able to access files when the internet is down
