Excel Alternatives
« on: 24 April 2005, 04:49 »
I'm looking for a preferably free, or cheap alternative to Excel.  More sprecifically, I'm trying to find a program with a more advanced way of sorting/catagorizing individual sheets in a file.  The file I'm doing now has about 30 sheets to it, but could easily be sorted into catagories if a program would allow it.  Thanks.

QuikSheets is the perfect solution.  It's free, there's no spyware, and it gets the job done.

openoffice or how about gnucash? also, there's something out there called "pathetic office" and oddly enough it includes a lightweight standalone spreadsheet program

which is actually ok, and isn't pathetic.

Maybe I should rephrase this.  Alternative was the wrong word I guess.  I guess I'm looking for a better spreadsheet program.

I suggest WordPerfect Office or OpenOffice.org.
