Very interesting.. I wonder how much functionality can online-excel application have. Does anyone else know about existing excel-type applications online?

the GSS homepage has changed. when did that happen?

>Can someone who already has an account invite me?

Invites don't give you access you need an invite from google

Ok. It is in labs now too.

Mrrix32--
I think it works like Writely – you can't invite someone to get an account, but you can invite them to collaboratively edit, which gives them an account.

Not sure, though. Can someone try it anyway?

-- J.P.

I'm in.

Just go to labs.google.com.

Click on the link.

-- J.P.

You don't get an account when invited in that way JP.

Slight bug. My browser refreshed (I don't know why) and It said I was viewing the file twice and I could chat with my self, Any one else had that? Good thing is I've now seen the chat working.

Oh. It doesn't matter anymore. I think it's *really* live or something.

I haven't been invited yet, and I haven't recieved anything from Google. I *did* sign up both this morning and a few times during the day.

I'm using it right now. All I did was go to labs.google.com and click on the Google Spreadsheets link.

Not sure if it'll work for you guys...

-- J.P.

-- Received no invite, yet I am in (submitted e-mail about 6.18hrs earlier)
-- Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V do work.
-- .ods-files can not be uploaded.

<<Maybe we should created one big Google Blogoscoped spreadsheet>>

5 minute video tour of Google Spreadsheets

>>the chat doesnt work if the sheet ower is offline

It looks like only one person was logged in, there's not much point chatting to your self.

=SUM(A1:A6) works
=SUM(A2:I2) Dosn't

Is there a reason for this?

Mrrix32: could you still chat if I logged of yesterday?

Think so. I'm not completely sure, I was verry tired, can't remember much form then.

Google Spreadsheet is OpenDocument compliant?

Zauker: not yet, but i asked the question to them.

In the help google.com/support/spreadsheet ... they say:

"We currently support .xls and .csv file formats, but are planning to expand support for other formats."

Mrrix32: thx anyway. If you can't remember you must have been drinking. ;-)

no. ive deleted my username from the list.. :)
i dont really need spammers.. :)

i was there..
otherwise how could i PS this photo? ;)

The funny thing is that this product from google contains no search abilities at all.

right..
but you do have Google Desktop that can check your computer for files..:/

but again, youre right.. and its odd!! very odd!

Have you guys looked at xcellery.com? This service combines best of both worlds in extending Microsoft Excel with all the advantages of an online spreadsheet. Really cool!

Where is
some help informatione about this site?

google.com/support/spreadsheet ...

It's up and running. Seems to work fine, but there are not enough features yet to really critique it.

I know only a site url

Yes its just a being-developed product. It will be the best very soon.
