    You are certainly familiar with Google Sheets, a Google service to support productivity in the office, especially in creating and organizing various documents.

    Spreadsheets in Google Sheets have almost the same functions as Microsoft Excel, only slightly different in menu layout, features, and some formulas.

    Some people are more comfortable using Google Sheets, because it’s easier to share documents.

    But there are still many who still rely on Microsoft Excel to create documents that are considered quite complex.

    Difference between Excel and Google Sheets

    Although they appear to have the same features, there are some differences between the two.

    Here are some basic differences between Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets.
