Google Sheets
What Google Spreadsheet was renamed to.
Google Sheets originated from XL2Web, a web-based spreadsheet application developed by 2Web Technologies, founded by Jonathan Rochelle and Farzad Fuzzy Khosrowshahi.[6] XL2Web was acquired by Google in 2006[7] and turned into Google Labs Spreadsheets. It was launched as a test for a limited number of users, on a first-come, first-served basis on June 6, 2006.[8][9] The limited test was later replaced with a beta version available to all Google Account holders, around the same time as an official announcement press release was issued.[10] In March 2010, Google acquired the online document collaboration company DocVerse. DocVerse allowed multiple-user online collaboration on Excel-compatible documents as well as other Microsoft Office formats such as Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint.[11] Improvements based on DocVerse were announced and deployed in April 2010.[12] In June 2012, Google acquired Quickoffice, a freeware proprietary productivity suite for mobile devices.[13] In October 2012, Google Spreadsheets was renamed Google Sheets and a Google Chrome app was released that provided shortcuts to Sheets on Chrome's new tab page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Sheets#History
