I'm deeply disappointed by lack of Excel support on Chromebooks
If you really need these formulas,you should buy a windows PC.
On the other hand,you may find alternative ways to acheive your foal without these formula.

peiyezhu Actually, I have several; my primary setup is a coffee lake i7 on a ROG board, running Win11Pro. It's got AIO cooling, 64gigs DDR4-3200, M.2 Evo 960, the works. So now, imagine trying to lug that behemoth (yes, it's an ATX full-tower, and the chassis is mostly steel) with you everywhere you go. Even for an enthusiast like myself, it's a bit too much to handle.
The Chromebook, which I'm using a lot in the car or while I'm otherwise out and about, is mostly intended for my academic coursework. I've been having to return back at inconvenient times specifically just to be able to complete my assignments, which has been an annoyance. For all that it lacks, it runs amazingly well considering its inferior hardware and specs. Before this, I've owned multiple notebooks that ran WinOS and quite literally every single one of them were bulky yet always giving me a struggle with their weight, responsiveness, heat dissipation, fan noise, etc. I also had a netbook once, but it's performance was so atrocious that it was basically unusable. Don't get me wrong, I'm an ardent advocate for Windows OS despite its shortcomings and weaknesses, and I'll continue to build workstations running Windows for the foreseeable future, but there simply wasn't any contender I felt was adequate when it came to mobility.
However, all of this is really beside the point, because like I said...
