I don't have enough active users yet to answer that with real usage data, so I don't want to guess.
That said, one workflow I've intentionally made very simple is data cleaning. A user can upload a file, review the suggested fixes, and clean duplicates, formatting issues, missing values, invalid emails, and similar problems in just a couple of steps.
My hypothesis is that cleaning messy data is one of the first jobs people want done because it's a common pain point before they can do any analysis or reporting. I'm still testing that assumption and looking for feedback from people who work with spreadsheets regularly.

People usually struggle with excel formulars and for some they are hard to remember. it is hard to do constantly remember formulars and do repetitive spreadsheet work everyday. Sowremai requires no formulars, that all.

A lot of people don't dislike spreadsheets, they dislike getting stuck on the step between knowing what they want and figuring out how to do it.
One thing I've noticed is that importing and cleaning messy data is often more frustrating than formulas themselves.
What task are early users reaching for first when they open it?
