Don't rule Excel out before taking a look at the options. Google might be handier for the time being, but it's not as clear-cut as it once was.
FREE RAFFLE SOFTWARE IMPORT FROM GOOGLE SHEETS FULL
Microsoft Excel is primarily a one-man show, but you can work on Excel documents together via Microsoft Excel Online, which is essentially a pared-back version of the full desktop software, or get more options if you and your teammates have Microsoft Office 365 Business subscriptions. You can simply email colleagues a link allowing them to join in making (or just suggesting) changes and adding comments, all of which will be visible in real time.
If you want to collaborate with other people, Google Sheets is the natural first choice. The best choice here really depends on your priorities: convenience or sheer storage space. Microsoft Excel can sync your files with Microsoft OneDrive, which takes a little extra effort, but if you've invested in an Office 365 subscription you'll have an impressive 1TB of cloud storage at your disposal. Google Sheets will save your spreadsheets to your Google Drive account, enabling you to access them anywhere. Excel will give you a warning if you try to close the program without saving your work, and if you do shut it down by mistake, you stand a good chance of restoring some of your work using Microsoft's built-in recovery tool, but there are no guarantees. Google Sheets will save your work automatically, so you don't need to worry about accidentally closing the window while you're working. It's possible to import and export spreadsheets in Google Sheets, but they may not appear exactly the same in Microsoft Excel (Image credit: Microsoft) Saving and syncing
