The power of excel is that everyone has it and most people have a ton of familiarity with it and there’s a million results for anything you search Google that you don’t know how to do. Basically, all the network effects, bec you’re right if excel were a new product today it would lose to every single competitor that does it much better.

Are you compatible with excel functions?

Yes, Excel compatible: https://rowzero.io/docs/spreadsheet-functions

If we're missing any formulas you need, message me at breck at rowzero.io and we'll add them (usually within 24 hours).

You'll also need formatting to be the same to get adoption. e.g. I wanted to format numbers as currency, and got USD$x,xxx as a result, and no obvious way to change that to $x,xxx.

Sounds like a bug, but I'm having trouble reproducing. If you share repro steps with breck at rowzero.io, we'll get it fixed.

I’m in New Zealand if that helps. Generally (please) don’t assume location dictates formatting, while Excel’s assumptions are often incorrect and so custom formatting is a requirement.

You can’t even assume location dictates location!

and the translations in the millions localizations not compatible with english formulae
