To migrate them online, do you think what's needed is a single-click "just upload your Excel spreadsheet and it will all work, including the VBA"? That is, how important is 100% compatibility, including VBA? (The technical bar for that is pretty high.)

I don't think it has to be compatible, just something that is as capable. I have been thinking about it for a while, I would use Lua or Javascript as the scripting language.

I don't know why Google hasn't done this yet.
