Description

Microsoft Excel и Google Таблицы — популярные во всём мире сервисы для создания электронных таблиц и проведения статистических рачсётов. Первая версия Excel впервые появилась в 1985 году и постоянно обновлялась с этого момента. Google Таблицы (Google Sheets в англоязычном варианте) создавались как аналог Экселя от Google и впервые появились в 2006 году. Таблицы Google и Эксель сохраняют файлы в одном формате — Ecxel («.xls» и «.xlsx»).

Microsoft Excel входит в состав пакета Microsoft 365, минимальная стоимость которого приблизительно 500 рублей в месяц, в свою очередь, Google Таблицы распространяются бесплатно и существуют только в облачной версии. Изначально Excel существовал в виде локальной программы, но с включением Microsoft Office в пакет услуг от Майкрософт появилась его веб-версия. Благодаря тому, что Google Таблицы существуют исключительно в облаке, автосохранение происходит автоматически, а также это позволяет быстро поделится таблицей с другими пользователями для совместного редактирования. Инструментарий сервисов максимально схож друг с другом, в таблицах от Google интерфейс облегчен, но имеет всю функциональность Экселя, например: создание макросов, интегрирование сторонних инструментов, формирование диаграмм, использование формул и многое другое.

Оба сервиса отлично подходят для создания электронных таблиц. Для совместной работы будет уместнее использовать Google Таблицы, если важен доступ к локальным данным при отсутствии интернета, то стоит выбрать Excel.

high cost of the license

Liked

Compatibility, functionality, diagrams

Disliked

Paid, no collaboration

Is the de facto standard for tables. If you learn how to use it, you can use it instead of a calculator for quick calculation and analysis of data.

last update for mac january 2018

Things got worse and slower !!!!

Disliked

I’m using the new Mac Pro with 16GB of memory.

The January 2018 Mac release is much less convenient. Apparently there were global untested changes. 

Began to work slower. 

The selection of cells through the shift and arrows has become completely unpredictable.

Copying even small buffers began to take up to several seconds.

Smoothing of even basic fonts has gone somewhere .

When moving from sheet to sheet, each time he focuses himself, which annoys - the table twitches.

And a lot of minor inconveniences.

New versions need to be finalized !!!!!!!

Got much worse !!!

Microsoft Excel

Liked

Convenient table search

Many different formulas

Disliked

Lately, tables often stop working, you have to save in 2 places

In general, the application suits.

It works stably, the interface is user-friendly. Ability to use on a mobile device.

Can’t grow

Functionality

Disliked

Working with OneDrive

Large tables won’t open on mobile

Errors in Android tablet app

There are fewer problems with the desktop program, and in the latest 2013 office package everything has become much cleaner and more stable. But the company is now entering the mobile market, and then mistakes begin. For example, does not open large xls files. Therefore, I did not notice much difference between it and WPS, although I was really looking forward to Office for tablets. We’ll have to wait again while microsoft finishes its raw mobile products. As always. And, of course, not all functions are implemented. For example, there is no function for removing the protection of a sheet, with scaling problems, tables are not visible with fixed columns and many more little things.

Replacement for everything.

Liked

mobility, versatility, accessibility, simplicity, appearance, in short everything

Disliked

If there is no Internet, then bummer (but you can install googledisk on your computer)

In short, we are swotting on the phone, consider the call center. And we are very happy with these tables. We created a kind of CRM in them with all sorts of filters, rights, etc. In short, if you open up a manual with all the formulas there, then there is a lot that can be muddied.

There you can pull information from other documents in the google drive and send it there. you can conveniently distribute access with different distinctions. collect information and many many options.

It is more convenient than excel for those who need to work together. If there are a lot of lines, then it certainly slows down, but you can divide it into documents and, again, pull information from other documents. 

In general, everyone can do something in them that he needs. There are a lot of options, the main thing is to be able to apply. 

Tables for everyone

Liked

  • Almost complete Microsoft Excel, only free and in the cloud
  • API for integration with any services (including Zapier)
  • Document collaboration
  • Get organized and organized in Google Drive

Disliked

  • slows down on big data (but it’s the web)

An excellent tool with a wide range of applications, in my practice I used it for:

  • collecting requirements
  • questioning and processing the results
  • cost calculators (licenses , works)
  • data storage from the monitoring system (it may be strange, but it turned out to be convenient)

Given the fact that there are formulas and scripts, the tool remains relevant now ... It can be integrated with different systems, both for recording data and for automating some operations (while the code is many times easier than writing your own service).

You can’t think of it more conveniently!

Liked

globality

accessibility from anywhere in the world

Disliked

minimum number of functions, as much as possible

An online table editor is what the market has been looking for for a long time, and now Google spreadsheet has replaced Excel.

An irreplaceable assistant in everyday work.

first cursed, then realized what was the matter

Liked

always the necessary documents at hand, even from a computer

Disliked

choose a browser that will load normally

For work, almost everything has already moved here to these tables. But I got used to them for a long time. When there is a lot of information, they are constantly hanging. Then I just changed the browser. And lo and behold. They began to open without any problems. Safari is not suitable for big data, alas. According to the tables themselves, everything is like in Excel, only you do not need to buy an installation disk) Very convenient in general

Amendment required from thousands of users

Disliked

FOR DEVELOPERS: Please add a pop-up menu in a situation when you drag information from one cell with the mouse to another filled cell - now there is a simple replacement of one cell overlapping with another, removing all information from the second cell. All your users are begging to add a popup menu with a question: Are you trying to replace cell information, select: YES / NO
