Well, as far as I've noticed so far, Google's spreadsheet is far better than Open Office (Annoying how I'm maxed at 3 conditionals that only work with numbers). I haven't tried in Excel yet, can't quite download it. I have a lot of google documents but sometimes working on these spreadsheets online fails and I can't update them when I want. Google Drive offered the ability to sync files with the PC, but all it actually synchronizes is fake files. Links to the actual files. There's no actual synchronization at all.
What I want is a fully functional version of the web spreadsheet program as an installed program on the system, one that can synchronize with G. Drive (and if fails, then the spreadsheet will retain the data and try again later). Google could probably make profit selling their google drive programs like Microsoft does. I'd definitely get Google Spreadsheets to support it if it was available. My issues are that, I need 5+ conditionals. I would like to mark Cells with "N/A" in them as dark red, cells with "*" as red, and cells with a value of 500 or higher as light red. So on so forth. Open Office doesn't let you do N/A or *, and it maxes at 3 conditionals. I also need more than 400,000 cells. I'm betting Google could lift these limits for paying customers, or people who pre-calculate all t he data in the spreadsheet before it gets uploaded. That way it's less strain on Google's drives and makes people happy. Another good reason I love google spreadsheets so much, is it doesn't display infinite un-ending sheets. When I want to go to the end of an infinite document, it gets kind of annoying. I like being able to cut things off right there at the V column and have nothing but blank space on that side. Not more unused grids just sitting there. Sample of my current spreadsheet and why others don't seem to work as a replacement. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ao4izdINg3HfdExGX2lwZmc5UmNGQ2NxZFRJWTJCc2c What Open Office looks like: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/30270697/images/oospreadsheetpreview.png Yet to find out of MS Spreadsheets can do everything google can (EVERYTHING) but would rather wait to see of either google will make a new product like I'm speaking of or if someone else knows what I can do to make this work. 34,563 Rows. A through V Columns. (760,386 Cells) {2,446,477 Characters}. I'm hoping I chose the right location, this is for Developers right? If any of you can make a sort of app like this that could work with google, or if google dev team actually checks this place and thinks my idea might be worth doing? I'm really hoping a google dev decides to present the idea of making user programs for this stuff. I love google drive, and would prefer it over MS Office. I'd need a decision semi soon though if any G Devs might take this into consideration. If G Devs do not check this place and someone knows one, please forward this topic to one of them. Thanks.
