EditGrid was a Web 2.0 spreadsheet service, operated via Internet access (web-based application). It offered both a free-of-charge service to personal users and a subscription service to organisations and was available on a number of partner sites and channels.
EditGrid was shut down on May 1, 2014.
EditGrid was developed, provided and maintained by Team and Concepts, a Hong Kong-based company. The first public beta release of EditGrid was launched on 7 April 2006. It registered its 10,000th personal user in November 2006. In January 2007 EditGrid started to offer organisation accounts for free trial and also became available on Salesforce.com's AppExchange platform. On 14 February 2007, EditGrid officially declared out-of-beta and launched its subscription service.
In June 2007, EditGrid announced a $1.25 million series A investment from the WI Harper Group.
Touted as the most advanced and well-polished Ajax-enabled spreadsheet, EditGrid included features for shared access and online collaboration on top of conventional spreadsheet functionalities. Its Real-Time Update (RTU) feature allowed multiple users to see changes on a spreadsheet immediately, and it was considered a winning feature among similar products. Its Remote Data feature was able to retrieve live data on the web, while its My Data Format (MDF) feature allowed users to customise the output format using XSLT, such as live KML for Google Earth. Other features included multiple access control levels, revision history,charting, live chat, permalinks and more than 500 spreadsheet functions.
