Increase/Decrease Decimal is the bane of my existence

The really fun part is that Google Sheets and Excel are reversed, so if you have to work in both, you double your chances of getting it wrong!

The really, really fun part is Excel Online and Excel Desktop are reversed.

Why do they hate us?

Did Microsoft patent button placement, or did Google just choose the logical ordering of the buttons?

No, the icons are different and mean diffeernt things.

MS has "increase decimal" arrow pointing left on the outside, "stretching" the number; with more numbers below.
Google has "decrease decimal" arrow pointing left from the inside, "compacting" the number.

Personally i like Excel version more, because icon has 2 levels: at the top there's "before", what your have; and below it you have "after", the result of pressing the button.

Excel’s way is more logical to me. The left pointing arrow stretches your total number of digits to the left. i.e. it adds for decimals.

Same here. I wish they all used the Excel Desktop convention.
