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.

>>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 http://www.google.com/support/spreadsheets/bin/answer.py?answer=40607&topic=8841 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. ;-)

i dont really need spammers.. :)

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 http://www.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?

http://www.google.com/support/spreadsheets

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.
