4. All the stuff he starts describing at 18:40 Google Sheets will actually do just fine except the Growth Trend bit on the heights.

5. 33:25 - Nope, that works in Google Sheets too. Just like Excel.

6. OK that table shit was cool though. Sheets can't do that.

This video is a year old; Google sheets has notably improved in that time.
I'm fairly confident that points #4 and #5 both worked a year ago. I guess I can't be 100% sure, but I'm preeeeety sure.
tables is one of my most sorely missed features from excel. I'm really surprised it's still lacking in sheets
It's missing everywhere. Sheets, libreoffice, office for Mac, anything... Ok, office for Mac does have tables, but I keep running into issues when referencing them - some values just end up as error until you change the source (even to the same value)
Google Sheets is still painful in many areas. Cell/chart/pivot formatting is a big one.then there are little things like the pivot table interface. Sheets has come a long way but when I need to be efficient and effective, I roll up my sleeves and dive into Excel.
I remember watching this video a while ago and it is super basic. I can assure you that there are great many things that google sheet lacks.
Ya I know. Was just pointing out that Google Sheets isn't quite as basic as people think.

It really should be better though. I wish Google would commit to it more.

Does it have array formulas now?
