Plus more, online spreadsheet is also allow setup collaboration with other users which will be nice for businesses and other people who need to constantly share documents.

Online Spreadsheet Services Review:

An online spreadsheet services developed by HongKong company and launched on 7 April 2006. Their online spreadsheet services comes with extension spreadsheet features such as document-sharing, live chats, and real-time-update, allowing users to see changes as soon as they are made.

Google SpreadSheet

Google Spreadsheets is a web based office productivity application allows users to create and edit spreadsheets online while collaborating with other Google account users on real time.

Google Spreadsheets is easy to use and free, and it works much like every other spreadsheet you’ve ever worked with. It takes very little time to learn to use it. You can’t lose your work. Once you name the spreadsheet you’re working on or right after you import an XLS file from your computer, Google Spreadsheets saves your file. From that point, every change you make is immediately saved.

Meanwhile, There’s a good list of mathematical, financial, statistical, and other function types. You won’t find many calculations that you can’t perform. The service imports your existing Excel (and CSV) files pretty well.

Among the above online spreadsheet, the most i like is Google Spreadsheet because their nice and clean interface. Meanwhile, the spreadsheet functionality is keep on updating from time to time.

So, do you use above online spreadsheet as your default spreadsheet software. Or you have other online spreadsheet that better.

    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

    Good review! I also try to compare different online applications with eachother but not just Spreadsheet program – I want to uninstall everything from my desktop. If you’re interested in my work how it goes – check out my blog.

    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.

  • Henno

    @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.
