What would be quite cool would be a small utility that one can run over ones workooks and that produces a csv or json file of all the Excel functions used and their count.

People could submit those and you'd get real usage stats of what functions people actually use in real world workbooks rather than guessing.

Users could also then use this to run a compatibility check to see if they could move over to your engine or not.



Hi snthpy, that is planed! We used to have that, but I removed it to simplify the UI.

If you don't mind compiling yourself there is a somewhat rough tool tat does that:

https://github.com/ironcalc/IronCalc/blob/main/xlsx/src/bin/...

It will tell you exactly what cells evaluate differently.

I will also add mentions to unsupported formulas and features
