Excel has been around for decades and has been largely considered the King of all spreadsheet applications. When Google Sheets first launched in 2006, it was nowhere near dethroning Excel.

But since then it improved significantly and today the functionality between Excel and Google Sheets is very similar. In fact, it has useful features which Excel either completely lacks or hasn't implemented as neatly as Sheets.

In this video we'll explore 10 features of Google Sheets where Excel doesn’t compete (yet).
