While using Google Spreadsheets for updating a small file I use for the site, I ran across a huge software bug. I couldn't believe that it actually happened. Of course, I reported it to Google right away. Here's what I wrote:
| "... The last time I was working on this spreadsheet, I did a lot of formatting (colors, numbering, etc.)
When I opened the same file today, all of my formatting was gone; as if I never did any of it. The data was retained, but not in the format I had it in." |
I have all the confidence in the world that this will be fixed soon, as well as any other major bugs that are in the queue. This is just a public service reminder from me that Google Spreadsheets is still in Beta, and that it should not be used for any data you hold dear to your heart ... yet.
