    Pales in comparison, unfortunately. That’s what I’m using now and it feels on par with Office 2007. If you want a specific example…data validation is a bit of a trainwreck. Unless something has changed recently, there is no way to see which cells have data validation applied

    But I should note that I’m an excel “power user” and LibreOffice will fit the bill for 99.5% of people.

      have you thought about just going for starting to use databases?

      EDIT : like Django + Mariadb feels like something approachable if you are already knee deep in excel power use, which is basically programming. there’s some new things to get the hang of, but once you do, it’s fairly approachable. It has mostly good documentation.

        I’ve thought about it but it seems like a lot of trouble for how I use it. I use Excel at work every day so I’m pretty quick making them but I might change my mind if I ever switch jobs
