Google is getting ready to launch a test version of an online spreadsheet similar to Microsoft’s Excel program. Google Spreadsheets is a Web-based application that is still in the early stages of development, offering simple functionality in two common spreadsheet and data formats, Excel and C.S.V. Data can be manipulated, but more complex functions such as macros are not available. “At least with this test version, Google isn’t going after the power business users,” JupiterResearch senior analyst Joe Wilcox told TechNewsWorld.
