How similar are Google Sheets and Excel?

Google Sheets and Excel share many core functionalities such as the use of formulas, pivot tables, and the ability to create various types of data visualizations. Excel, however, typically offers a broader range of complex functions and more advanced data analysis tools, like Power Query and Power Pivot, which are suited for handling large datasets and complex modeling.

On the other hand, Google Sheets excels in real-time collaboration, allowing multiple users to edit and comment simultaneously and integrates seamlessly with other Google services like Google Drive and Google Docs. While Excel provides more extensive customization and scripting capabilities through VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), Google Sheets supports scripting through Google Apps Script, which is based on JavaScript. The choice between the two may depend on the specific needs of your projects, whether you prioritize collaboration or require deep data analysis features.
