Depends on the user but Google sheets give you more freedom It has it pros and cons Pros: Google Spreadsheets main advantage is the ability to collaborate. Most people use Excel to manage simple lists of data, utilizing only1-5% of Excel's true potential (formulas, filtering, tables, macros, etc). When we were required to share simple numbers with10 different people in a group, the collaboration feature of Google Spreadsheets far out-weighs the whole e-mailing Excel files back and forth between people. Additionally, most Excel keyboard shortcuts around navigation and selection (think CTRL+Arrow keys, CTRL+SHIFT+Arrow keys) all work in Google Spreadsheets. This simplifies things quite a bitbit Cons-things load faster in Excel if you have a lot of data in your worksheets. Google Spreadsheets also lacks a lot of the extra features of Excel like Goal Seek, add-ins, etc. Google Spreadsheets is slowly catching up with their version of PivotTables, but it's still nowhere as fast and functional as Excel.

It depends on the nature of your spreadsheets and the level of analysis you perform using your spreadsheets. I have used Excel at work and Google Docs for freelance projects, and find that each has its strengths and weaknesses.Google Docs works best for:

  • Real-time editing and collaboration with multiple users on a basic spreadsheet
  • Maintaining a list and/or working with several contributors to add/update static data
  • Creating web-based dashboards
  • Light charting and analysis
  • Small-scale data analysis. In my experience, performance lags beyond1K rows of data. Damon Cortesi suggests a max of20K rows, though I would agree with John Marsland's best practice of restricting rows to "above the fold".

Google Docs does support a lot of the useful formulae and features available in Excel (i.e. VLOOKUP, OFFSET/MATCH, data tables, named ranges and so on), so you can reasonably expect to be able to duplicate an Excel spreadsheet in Google without loss of functionality.Excel (desktop) works best for:

  • Medium-scale data analysis and modeling, and by 'medium' I mean data-sets <500K rows. Any larger than that, and you are better off going with R, SAS, SPSS, Matlab or something similar.
  • Complicated pivot tables
  • Complicated dashboards and charting that rely on Excel-based models for source data.
  • Power usage of keyboard shortcuts or fast performance

That said, Microsoft's SkyDrive is a possibility as well, if live collaboration is not a necessity (i.e. you and your co-workers take turns editing the document).For simpler Excel spreadsheets, SkyDrive allows viewing and editing in-browser. For more complicated spreadsheets that contain macros or pivot tables / named ranges, it borrows a neat trick from SharePoint - if you access the SkyDrive website in Internet Explorer in a Windows environment, and click 'Edit in Excel', it will open the file in Excel on your desktop and all subsequent changes will be saved directly to the web, just like in Dropbox.
