What is missing in Sheets that would save you 20 hours a week vs. Excel? Genuinely curious to hear real world examples from a power user, because in the worst case scenario I use JS/G Apps Script to automate analysis/organization, which is actually a preference for me if I can't do it easily enough with a formula. I also can't stand Excel UI
- shp0ngle 5y agoI switched from Google Sheet to Excel when I needed to actually do some work on phone. Google Sheets are surprisingly bad on phone. I wanted to "just" do drag-to-fill (or whatever is the name... that + thing that appears when you go to bottom right)... I could not do that on iOS Google Sheets? And in general, Google Sheets on mobile are surprisingly poor.
- julianz 5y agoIf you name a cell in Excel, then use it in a formula by clicking on the cell, Excel will use the name in the formula. Sheets won't, which misses the whole point of naming cells.
- remus 5y agoIm interested in this too as my experience is the same as yours. Personally I feel like going in to JS/G apps script is actually a big bonus as it means you avoid some of the really gross stuff that you get in excel (which ime ends up being really hard to maintain).
