I read the article, then I had a look at the product. I still don't particularly see the connection to spreadsheet other than it presenting as a table of cells. Doesn't seem to have modelling or calculation that you would expect though it does have rudimentary relationship modelling Looks more like a version of Trello which I did use at work for a while to replace using Excel for project management until we were told to use MS Teams and MS Planner. So it seems it's aimed at spreadsheet users that use spreadsheets for anything other than calculation and analysis. It looks better than I remember Trello being. Though it apparently rather redundantly integrates with Trello. As for exciting I'd look at the list of integrations and see what other cloud applications that you use which it could enhance. 80k customers means a minimum revenue of 2M per month. I think that could be the exciting part! |

I thought it looked like Thoughtspot at first, but yes, I see your Trello similarity.

ooo, it's not Thoughtspot. Do you use that? It looks like powerBI without engineering.

Thoughtspot is largely powerbi with lipstick and heels, yes.

Having a frustrating morning trying to get excel or powerBI or anything to connect to serviceNow with SQL. Cannot get the ODBC to connect. Fairly sure the cause is something to do with JAVA and trying to find a 64bit JRE to install is being surprisingly elusive.

I guess I'm behind here but just recently got Excel 2016 at work (was previously on 2010). Nice to MAXIFS and MINIFS and IFS.

...but now I find out that it's only available via Office 365. Guess that's another two years to wait then, lol.

I like the quotes on your about page SPR. O365 is a great invention really. Microsoft being all things to everyone at once, though not the best at each component. I don’t have many issues with excel though except when expansion of a cell in pivot table analysis drops columns.
