If you are a heavy Excel user, Sheets just doesn't compare in many ways. Even for basic things such as pivot tables. The interface is just painful, and you flat out can't do certain things.
I really with that team would bring it up to feature parity similar to how Marissa Mayer grabbed everything she could from AdWords in terms of features and UI design.

- shostack 10y agoI consider things like pivot tables to be more mainstream and not relegated to just power users. So the statement I responded to: >"Anything that you'd normally do in Office is done on Google for Work at Google." ...is just not accurate. Not to mention other super basic things like a lot of the formatting options, etc. Those most certainly are basic user needs, and you can't do half the formatting things you can do in Excel.
