The Google Spreadsheets online program can hardly be called an analogue of Microsoft Excel, because in terms of functionality they are very far from each other, but the fact remains: now you can open an Excel file (.xls or .csv) and edit the document directly online using a browser.
The free utility Google Spreadsheets is another representative of the new generation of Office 2.0 programs, which are an integral part of the second generation Internet (Web 2.0). This is a new constellation of network sites and services, designed primarily for users of broadband Internet access channels. It is not surprising that it is Google that is particularly active on this front, because in this way it is trying to compete with one of its worst enemies, Microsoft.
Google Spreadsheets is currently in beta testing and is only available to a limited number of beta testers. However, on the Internet you can find screenshots of this program and even videos . To become a beta tester, you need to leave a request and wait for your turn.
