TinySheet 3.1
Formatting Text The f(x) button lets you pull up a listing of the functions that TinySheet supports. There are functions for everything from financial to statistical formulas. See the TinySheet manual (page 25) for a complete listing of supported functions. There are also buttons for cut, copy, paste, and cell color and text color buttons. I wish the buttons were configurable, however. The Workbook Details button (to the right of Done) isn't something I need to use often, so I would rather be able to change it to Format. That way I don't have to use Cell | Format to change formatting. I also don't think that Delete Workbook (second icon from left) should be so easy to get to. Speaking of formatting text, there is a host of options for cell formatting. In addition to allowing multiple fonts (when will a DOC editor do this?) and colors, you can also change the text alignment (horizontal, vertical, wrap). You can format numbers as general, number, currency, percent, date, or time; border and cell protection are also options. The only thing missing is a format painter. I constantly use that in Microsoft Excel, and it would be nice to be able to copy one cell's formatting to another. There are a few features that I wish TinySheet had. A full screen mode with smaller row & column headings only would be nice. If TinySheet used the command-stroke toolbar in Palm OS 3.5 and had its major icons there, I would probably use a full-screen mode exclusively. Technical Support for TinySheet is very responsive. I found a bug in the SUM function if TinySheet was adding empty cells, and iambic support had a corrected version done within the day. Towards the bottom right corner of the screen
is a (+-x/) button for turning on/off auto-calculate. If your spreadsheet
has a lot of data or formulas, it's a good idea to disable auto-calculating
until you have all of your data entered. Otherwise TinySheet
will recalculate every time you enter new data, slowing things down.
Also, larger documents can take a long time to load Once they're
loaded, though, maneuvering in TinySheet
is fine. |
