Ooohhhhhh i really like this info. Here is what i want, i want a cleaner way to parse a pdf into an xls or csv and be able to edit it on mobile .... Have any good references?
except the last part of "edit it on mobile", you can achieve it with https://extracttable.com Feel free to direct any questions to brain@extracttable.com

Not at any of the companies I have worked for or consulted for in the past 5 years. At least at the Fortune 500 level. I love using new tools but Google sheets is nowhere near Excel for more complex projects.
That’s probably true, but in the most of the cases when it gets too complicataed for Google Sheets it shouldn’t be a spreadsheet at all. KPMG consultants sent us a lot of forms built in spreadsheets and that’s an abomination that should have been a simple webpage.
Spinning up "a webpage form" in a corporate environment has A LOT of overhead and complications. It can't be done on the fly.
In many places, creating "a webpage" means putting up something on Sharepoint and possibly dealing with it's BOFH. That's a rabbit-hole I would not wish on my worst enemy!

Uhm, I can import vector SVGs into Powerpoint (2019 or Office 365) just fine.
I can too. Then I resize them and they get blurry because it's converted them to bitmap, as mentioned in the comment you're replying to. Powerpoint Office 365 insiders build, the latest possible public release.
This looks sleek and well-made! However, this is a pretty crowded space. Spreadsheet Converter ( https://www.spreadsheetconverter.com ) and Spreadsheet Web ( https://www.spreadsheetweb.com ) are directly comparable and have been around for years. (Like Publisheet, Spreadsheet Converter offers an Excel add-in.) Then there are lots of web app builders, including Calculoid ( https://www.calculoid.com ), Calconic ( https…
Your website JavaScript was ruining my browser history. I had more then 10 entries and could not go “back”. Just a friendly heads-up.
We use the HTML5 History API to ensure that we can go "back" in an app which is run as a standalone app on Android when the system back button is pressed -- and there really isn't another way to go about it. (Not having the system back button go back would lead to a pretty terrible user experience when calculators are run as standalone apps.) However, we'll want to disable this behavior whenever apps are embedded in web pages -- I'll have a look at this later tonight.
Again, thanks for reporting the bug!
what use case would this serve?

When I started Publisheet, the idea was that it would allow users to create static, web-based reports from their spreadsheets, including textual information that would be written as Markdown (with a WYSIWYG editor) directly in one or more cells. I thought that it would be an easy way to create complete financial reports, for instance. The landing page's images still reflect that. But as soon as it launched, I noticed…
Best of luck with Publisheet, you're off to a good start!
Could this be done via a Google sheet?

That's weird. My SVGs do not get rasterized when resizing. I just tried (Powerpoint 2019) and I can resize, move, turn, mirror, cut etc. and they stay in vector form.
- Copying and pasting from a vector app into Powerpoint makes a bitmap import
- Dragging an SVG file from Explorer into Powerpoint works properly

> ...Office seems to be stuck in 2005 That's false. Some features not available at 2005: - 2007: Ribbon UI - PowerPivot / PowerQuery / PowerView - Integration with OneDrive (Office talks to server) - Office Online Server (Office Lite in web in cloud or self hosted) - Not a feature, but subscription model + value added services users get.
I didn't mean that there's been no changes to office. Rather that office hasn't kept up with the modern habits. Office is a world when vector graphics are in EPS, people don't want to re use diagrams in web pages, and app stores aren't mainstream. Office having adopted tabbed toolbars in 2007 doesn't change that.
