Thank you. The current integration is described in the online HTML GS-Calc help. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Yep, the website is being kept simple, in fact too simple and will have to be eventually redesigned. It seems the classic (and actually up to date) WinAPI GUI shouldn't imply the software is being "slow". One could have it both ways and say it's usually on the contrary where commonly cloned packages weighing hundreds of MB and performing relatively simple tasks get a free ride on users' ten(s) of times faster hardware. Then there is the Wirth's law, May's law etc.

This is a potentially interesting feature - it probably could be relatively easily extended to the shared environment in GS-Calc as there are already separate passwords to protect files, the sheet/view structures and cell ranges and optional sha256 checksums for all the data categories, but there no plans as such. At the moment you can just use two script commands to release the opened file, periodically check whether it's modified, report it and automatically reload the file.

Thanks. Yes, that was put off a bit too long, but there are plans to come up with the multiplatform version this year.

Thanks. This is just a set of features that offer better (sometimes significantly better) performance and make it possible to work with large data sets in some predictable way, that is, knowing what the performance is with 100K formulas, you should be able to estimate how it'll work with 10 millions no matter how much formatting is applied, added hyperlinks, links to external closed workbooks, lists etc. That is probably correct, in the upcoming years there might be no way to compete directly with (the standalone) Excel. Hopefully it just helps to perform or verify various things way faster than in Excel with add-ins (or often at all).

Fully adaptable to every database need, ranging from a household list to the personnel or inventory records of a large corporation. You can analyze, query, perform calculations, merges and joins with up to 256 million rows, 16K columns and 4GB+ files efficiently using even old PC's.

If you are new to database technology, don't worry - GS Base lets you start small and, without any extra cost, increase functionality as you need it.

You can perform both simple and complex record filtering, searching for duplicates, for unique values and frequencies, full-text searches, find-as-you-type, fuzzy searches, searching quartiles, random searches, one-click statistical breakdown analysis and link GS-Base UDF function in calculated fields with your Python libraries. You can use unlimited in-cell charts to spot trends and analyze largest data sets using pivot tables with up to 256 million rows and a broad selection of pivot data functions.

GS-Calc can be helpful, for example, to:

* process large (e.g. 4GB+) data sets in a spreadsheet;

* load GB/32 million-row files in seconds and use them without any crashes;

* load/edit in-place/split/merge/clean CSV/text files with up to 32 million rows and 1 million columns;

* use your Python functions as UDF formulas that can return to GS-Calc images and entire CSV files;

* use a set of statistical pivot data functions;

* create and display all popular chart types with millions of data points instantly.

Suggestions for improvements are welcome (and often implemented quite quickly).
