What are the pros of using Excel over Google Sheets at this point? I'm failing to see many.

@karlnislow I guess if your Infosec doesn't allow for "unsecured confidential online data"??? There really aren't that many.

@jonathanlaniado Interesting, curious what you mean by that?

@karlnislow Well, I worked at a company last year whose Info. & Security department did not allow Google Sheets to be used organization-wide. They claimed it wasn't secure enough for our confidential data to be uploaded on there.

@jonathanlaniado That's interesting. Just researched a bit. It seems like it has to do with how data at rest is secured in each system. Additionally, it appears Excel has more failsafe options using multi-sheet encryption.

@karlnislow Speed. Only thing I ever really run to Excel for is spreadsheets with 400k+ rows. 😅 I also use Numbers from time to time because of the nice charting defaults and mobile friendly UI

Great for medium size data and easily connects to other plug-in such as Coefficient and Looker, for large data set Excel is still the go to.

As someone who has been making Google Apps scripts the hard way for repeating processes, the new macros feature will be a game changer!

Review Google Sheets?

Reviewers see Google Sheets as a strong choice for collaborative spreadsheet work, especially for teams that need real-time editing, easy sharing, and smooth use with other Google Workspace tools. Several say it is versatile, intuitive, and well suited to everyday tasks, from annotation workflows to using it as a BigQuery client and source. The main caveat is depth: some reviewers say it falls short of Excel for more advanced work, especially where extra flexibility or VBA-style automation matters.
