[@kerronduncan6697]

Thank you for this comparison Leila! My favorites: Flexibility of the drop down list Automatic refresh with the pivot tables Translate function Impressive!

[@peterslegers3901]

at 13:10 Totals on the bottom of a table are a thing of the paper-era. We used to sum all the rows, and write the next figure down at the bottom. Nowadays it makes more sense to put the totals above the column names. That way you don't have to look all the way up to know what a number means, and you never have to scroll down a tab to know the summary in totals. When a table doesn't need a fancy presentation, you can double the rows of table headers, and put a summary of the larger table in between. Like in year totals - headers - monthly total rows - headers (fixated) - dayly rows.

[@olukunleakinola7133]

I have always underrated Google sheets. This is mind blowing.

[@saadelias7987]

While setting up "Data Validation" for Dropdown List, instead of selecting Range manually you can mention the "Named Range" (if you have any) in "Criteria Range Box". Eg. in the video at 1:35 in column B there are various positions mentioned...... we can create "Named Range" for that data and name it as "Positions". Now, whenever you need a "Dropdown List" of "Positions" you can just write "Positions" in "Criteria Range Box" and it will list down the data and moreover it is dynamic.

I've been a long-time user of Google Sheets, but I never knew it was this powerful! Thanks for this video, and I hope you make more videos about Google Sheets!

[@Sengenda]

Great video but I disagree regarding Unique Count: That does actually exist in Excel Pivots! When creating a pivot table, you have to add the Pivot to the Data Model. That way you get to Distinct Count, which is the same as Unique Count. Other than that: Thank you so much for your fantastic videos!

[@kurdirama]

I am a power user and for years I used Excel. Now I am 100% a Sheets convert. Honestly it is so much more powerful I was taken by surprise.

[@aperkinsvt]

Thank you! I use both every day and can say at a basic level they are almost identical in functionality. At the advanced level there are differences - and I love that you’ve highlighted some very important ones. Looking forward to the Excel video!

[@LeilaGharani]

Glad it was helpful! See you next week :)

[@drewg2403]

Auto refreshing pivots and query are so powerful when combined. I work with inventory valuations and I make one sheet specifically to import data, then another to query the import and a bunch of added columns with formulas that clean some data or do calculations. Then I run multiple pivots on the query to have different data sets. Then I can create multiple dashboards with dropdowns by querying the different pivots. Total game changer for repeat reports.

[@LeilaGharani]

Wow, thanks!

[@eltonm.t.873]

I love Excel as an long time user, however, I have to be honest that the greatest advantage of Sheets over Excel is about future proof by being more online capable. Yes we've got Office online but Sheets uses a script language which is better the Office's. Moreover, Google's ecosystem is much broader and present on the internet, in other words, people are much more tied to Google services than Microsoft's .

[@coursefarm]

Great overview of the distinctive powers of Sheets. One other really powerful feature is the integration of Forms. This enables you to collect data into your spreadsheet without giving others access to view a sheet. It's a great way to create a data input endpoint that can be used as the form itself or as a collection endpoint for a web application. Including a web application that you build in Google Sheets. Yes! You can build a web app in Google Sheets. That's another powerful aspect. Apps Script is a lot like VBA in Excel. Modification of multiple files across the file system, making copies from templates, sending emails, etc.. All the stuff you can do with VBA if you have the wizard's touch. I find it's easier in Apps Script and a lot more fun! Since it's on the web and has features for capturing who visited the document and when, there are some great analytics for who viewed your sheet built right in. Add in the ability to subscribe to changes AND edit the document at the same time and it's a collaboration powerhouse. Cell history is another feature that I love. Saving your work as you go is really handy and having multiple ways to audit your document history is dynamite. Where it starts to wear a little thin is in performance with large datasets. For larger scale stuff, Excel packs the horsepower.

[@LeilaGharani]

Many thanks Steve for the detailed comment! Agree on all points.

[@VivekSNarayan1]

There's another great advantage of getting median values in pivot tables without much efforts which is often better than averages.

Sheets rocks indeed. As a university program manager, I ran almost everything using many of the tools you showed (and more custom functions written in javascript). From exam scheduling to running multiple choice tests using google forms, and running anonymous grading of student written works by multiple faculty, including emailing the results to the students: google sheets allows it all. Only difficulty is reading and understanding your formulas the next semester ... documenting formulas (and debugging errors) is quite impossible on spreadsheets.

[@chh8860]

I still struggle mastering the 12,357 commands in Excel … don't really see myself changing to Sheets for these 10 Features. The comparison reminds me of those people who tout that BMW is better than Lexus (or vice versa) … both programs are extraordinarily powerful and more than capable for my purposes. I cannot even think of a reason to entertain a change.

[@PaulRoneClarke]

I actually use both. 95% Excel but these and a couple of other features I transfer to Sheets. Sometimes - you can do something in Sheets - save as Excel and it manages to transfer the process to Excel somehow. Try doing an image lookup simply in Sheets (function is not available in Excel), then from within Sheets "save as Excel", then load in Excel.

[@joshuacoppersmith]

I'd love to see a few more videos on Sheets. What about "Defeating pet peeves with Sheets." For example, if you have a detail sheet total on monthly detail sheets in cell D10, and you want an annual "cover sheet" with the grand total also in cell D10, as you try to click on the detail sheets to "pick" the D10's on those sheets, Sheets covers D10 with a floating version of the cover sheet cell, so you can't just click on that cell on the detail sheets. Plenty of other awkward things that there may be easy fixes for, but that frustrate my use of Sheets.

[@rafaher94]

Another important attribute for users to consider is that with Google Sheets you don't have to pay or download updates. you can count on the latest version as long as you have an internet connection. And like everything in Google, they are always doing very functional updates. This is the future!

Awesome video! Thanks a lot, Leila. I have a question. What are your experiences with the calculation power of Sheet vs Excel? I have this huge file with over 25,000 records for my administration since 2012 and have linked it with filters, pivot tables, power queries (thanks to your excellent course on that topic), tons of formulas (some of them are array formulas), named ranges and what have you more. In Excel I have switched to "calculate manually" and in that way, I can work with this big file of 139MB. Since I understood that Sheets only loads what it needs for its calculations, and that Sheets has a lot of advances over Excel, I started to rebuild the file in Sheets. (Importing didn't work since not all formulas could be transformed, like the filter formula or xlookup formula; and I use them a lot). But unfortunately, after putting in a lot of time, I got stuck in a situation that Sheets isn't able to load or reload some of the sheets! So basically I can't open the file any longer. Do you have similar experiences with Sheets? What would you advise? Looking forward to your video of next week!

I always wanted to maintain an inventory of articles that I use for my production and the list is pretty long and repetitive. I think now I can solve this problem with sheets. I will definitely update when I succeed. Thanks again for this wonderful video. Have a great day.

Searchable lists are in Excel online already kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHi8o62OgLuUf6s

Hmmm, now I could relate the "Flying Helicopter" teaser on your community page!😁 So Leila, the "Superwoman" was flying around creating this Sheets v/s Excel video high up there! 😂Yes, you kept the "surprise" element right from the title through the video! This really is a "Top View" that clearly shows what is better in Sheets and worth exploring! It is always good to know about options, as finally we, the end users benefit, applying the best every tool has to offer! Thanks again for a great video in the unique Leila "style"! Cheers! 👌👍

Haha, glad you like it :)

Sheets have always been underrated. For sure it does not have very complex features like Excel, but for the average user, it is more than enough. The ease of sharing, being free and all the features mentioned in this video amongst others, its easily a winner for me.

Leila!! I love you, you have no idea how informative this video is to me.

[@LeilaGharani]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bonjorelledomingo1581]

More Google Sheets content please! We appreciate you, Leila!

[@at-excel]

These are great functions and features. Thank you Leila ;-) Excel should catch up here "for reasons of compatibility".

[@LeilaGharani]

Hi Andreas! Yes - Excel does have some catching up to do. Sheets also has to do some improvements though. More on that next week :)

I think you could also look at the edge of the sheets over coding. Google Script is more lexically comfortable than VBA. For example. GS: "my_variable += 10" against VBA: "my_variable = my_variable + 10".

[@hespro3523]

Automatic refresh on pivot tables seems such an obvious feature. Where has it been all of my life? I don't think I would want to switch to Sheets for everything but I agree that it is an underappreciated application which deserves more love and attention.

[@LeilaGharani]

It really improved a lot over the last years.

[@mash24111970]

I never thought Google sheets had all these features, thanks to you leila, you have really enlighten me. Would be possible to make more detail video on the 2 items I like most.. Query function, import/export to html Many many thanks Leila, you are a life saver

[@LeilaGharani]

Glad you like the video. I made a note about your topics.

In a few months I became a Google Sheets expert, I created powerful databases and warehouse and invoice management systems. Now I can't do without it anymore. After 35 years of using Excel I almost have to abandon it

[@johnfromireland7551]

I wonder if that is the norm. That is, if someone starts using Google Sheets, for their work, do they have to abandon all the work and learning they did on Excel. What a waste of time and energy if they do.

[@andreaguerri.educational]

@@johnfromireland7551 I haven't found this waste, rather continuing to use Excel is a waste of time. To reach a destination, is it better to have a 500 even if an Abarth or a Ferrari? Try using simple data validation, remove duplicates, and blanks. Try to see if you use Excel in different operating systems, different versions. I spent hours solving problems that no longer exist in Google Sheets. Validate data in seconds thanks to filters, or merge data thanks to interactive queries ... I have created management software that could not be created with Excel. And then who tells you that what you have learned you do not use in Google? Thanks to the Google team who finally solved a lot of problems ... maybe Microsoft should seriously start doing things right.

Very good feedback for Google-sheet compare to Microsoft-excel 365 limitation .I used window7 more than 10 years ! Every software there are Good/Bad limitations. And every software company will continuosly update their software ! Thus when your hands-on job requires Latest facilities, the expert users will refer to your recommentations . Thanks .

Great Summary! Waiting for the fight back of Excel next week

[@DennysFamilyTutorial]
