Almost, but not completely. Certain functions of common spreadsheet software are not available in GRID. These are mostly highly specialized functions or functions that are rarely used. Most notably GRID does not implement scripting languages such as Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) or App Script. Overall - however - 98% of all spreadsheets are fully supported by GRID, and for most of the rest there are relatively simple workarounds to provide the same results.

GRID supports spreadsheet files from Microsoft Excel™ (xls and xlsx), Google Sheets™ and flat CSV data files. Users can link to these files in cloud drives such as Dropbox, OneDrive or Google Drive; provide a URL to the files; or upload them directly from their own computer.

Currently we do not offer any on-premise options and we do not plan to do so in the foreseeable future.

GRID is suitable for small to medium sized companies and IT independent groups within larger organizations.
