[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (11 children) I kinda curious since I've been using it for my meager spreadsheet use for over ten years. What sucks about it to you? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 11 child comments replies: [–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago (10 children) It feels like a less useful Office 97 variant. With modern UI/UX, it’s just clunky and old. Like, Google spreadsheets is works… better. Some things that I do in excel can’t really transfer over that easily (don’t have any examples off the top of my head sorry) The PowerPoint variant is the WORST offense though. It’s like having to maintain two different skillsets that are 85% similar. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] glimse@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago I don't remember specific examples but the answer is formulas. Google Sheets lacks a lot of the "advanced" non-math formulas. permalink fedilink source parent [–] someguy3@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (3 children) So is it just the UI or the actual functionality? I know the deep deep functionality probably isn't there but I want to know how deep you have to go. You can also change the UI to have the ribbon.
