Description
If you've ever built a spreadsheet formula that worked perfectly in Excel and then broke the moment a coworker opened it in Google Sheets, this is the tool that would have saved you the debugging session. Can I Spreadsheet? is a caniuse.com-style compatibility checker for spreadsheet functions: you search for a formula and instantly see whether it works — and how — across Excel, Google Sheets, and LibreOffice Calc.
Rather than paraphrasing vendor documentation, the site claims to actually execute formulas in real workbooks across all three platforms to record version-specific behavior, quirks, and edge cases — over 600 functions tested so far. Beyond the lookup tool it includes migration guides, a 'Migration Audit' feature for checking .xlsx workbooks before switching platforms, and how-to recipes built from verified formulas. It's free, with the underlying data open on GitHub.
💬 Our review
The short version: a genuinely useful reference if you regularly move spreadsheets between Excel, Sheets, and LibreOffice and are tired of guessing which functions will silently misbehave.
There isn't a direct competitor doing exactly this — most compatibility info is scattered across vendor docs, forum threads, and function-reference sites that document one platform at a time. Can I Spreadsheet?'s value is specifically the cross-platform comparison, tested rather than guessed. The catch is scope: 600 functions is solid coverage but not exhaustive, and as a free, presumably small-team project there's no guarantee of long-term upkeep — worth bookmarking as a reference, not depending on for mission-critical migrations without spot-checking yourself.
