I signed up last night and got my invite this morning (9:13 am CST). Logged in...no problem. Imported a spreadsheet, it had GS had trouble converting a custom date format I use ("mm/dd/yy, ddd" -> no big deal ).

Seems fairly responsive, a bit more so than iRows. Over 200 formulas available. I could not find a stock quote function (anyone else?).

Can link formulas across sheets. Does not appear to support "array formulas" e.g., {=sum((a1:a20="q")*(b1:b20="r")*c1:c20} (big deal).

Of course, no pivot table functionality. Apparently a PT is in the iRows plan. Hope GS adds one as well (Pivot tables are by far the most powerful functionality in Excel)

Anyway, still playing around a bit. Be glad to report back if needed.

Thanks
Dave

Thanks Dave. Haven't had a look at it yet, but appreciate the insights.

P.

been playing with this, its comparable to the other online spreadsheets (editgrid, numsum). in general this is a toy app, i'm not sure who will be using it or why. it would be irresponsible to store real company data on a google server with no assurance who can access it and how (there is no encryption). its also unlikely that this tool could even digets a real-world spreadsheet. the DOM tree was not designed to digest a ten thousand row spreadhseet.
