    A better comparison would be Google Sheets vs. Excel in Microsoft 365.
    All of the collaborative features you describe for Google Sheets are also available in Excel, I use them at work.

    "you can't go wrong with either" is a seriously false statement.
    What you forgot to mention in your video is that Google Sheets only has a market share of 5.73% in the business world. Microsoft Excel has an 81% market share. That is a huge difference when trying to get hired in the business world.
    Basically a company is 81% more likely to use Microsoft Excel. So learning Microsoft Excel will benefit you greatly. There's a big learning curve between Google Sheets to Microsoft Excel. I've tried learning Google sheets on and off for 3 years I just don't understand it. But then again, I've been using Microsoft Excel since 1995. I can find and do what I need to do in Excel very well. 81% of business companies will expect you to as well.

      if 5% use sheets and 80% use excel, that means a business is 16 times more likely to use excel, not 81% more likely

    Very helpful. To me it comes down to performance. I am currently running tests on Google Sheets to see if it can handle datasets with over 10K rows. So far its good but it can get laggy when using the "restore versions" feature. It would be nice to mention what "large data" means, since to most people what Google Sheets can handle would be more than enough. With Excel though I never have to worry about the app ever getting "laggy".

    Can you record VB macros in Google Sheets? And can you use Google Sheets offline? I would not be able to do my job without VB.

    Google Sheets doesn't have a save or save as button ....it's a no no for me.....tI don't always want to save all the files all the changes at all times sometimes I just want to work on a spreadsheet send it to Who do I have to send it to and go back to the original file
