I was hoping your last sentence was a replacement for Excel. I use Excel to maintain the books for my business. I've built a really nice book for keeping track. The thought of migrating it to something where certain functions may not work keeps me paying my subscription fees.
How much do you pay? Maybe you can pay someone to write you a custom program to do those things. Maybe in libre office, or python, or some other language with gui and plots.
What is it, $100 a year for office? Been a long time, don't even think about it anymore.
In that case you can probably find someone for $100-200 that'll check your excel logic and make sure it works on libre office. Or python script
It’s more of a “haven’t experimented” with the alternatives yet rather than them not being good. Mainly a time issue for me.
