Interesting review especially the fact that you have taken the effort to compare many of the best online spreadsheets available today including Zoho and the popular Google.
I am interested in how this disruption will play out over the long term. It is my opinion that the feature war is mostly irrelevant in the long term- the key is adoption and serving a new market segment- the non users and the novice users of Excel. [Read more at my blog..]

What about combining best of both worlds? Xcellery extends Microsoft Excel with all the advantages of an online spreadsheet. Don’t learn a new tool and keep using Excel powered by Xcellery’s online extension. This all works with zero installation and available for free on http://www.xcellery.com.

This all sounds fantastic in it’s infancy. But does anyone out there know of any web based spreadsheet software/host that supports auto filter? I have a sheet of about 2000 rows by 15 columns and I need some form of data filter…

@Jeffo

There are no visualization tools. You can’t graph or chart your data. And there’s none of the conditional formatting that we’ll get with Excel 2007.

@km
Nope, it doesn’t support AutoFilter. I, too, miss that feature much.

wikiCalc 1.0, the open source wiki spreadsheet
has been released by Dan Bricklin. It is fairly
different from a traditional spreadsheet, but it accomplishes formatted calculated information in an elegant way. See http://danbricklin.com/log/2007_01_25.htm#wikicalc1_0
He mentions a web site named iwoorx.com that has some
simple test drives of wikiCalc as adapted by iwoorx.
The test drives are really just initial teaching tools
for wikiCalc and wiki-ish spreadsheets but some are
pretty cool mashups, and they show users and developers how they were made.
Please let us know what you think.
Thanks.
Steve Kohler – yes, I am with iWoorx.
