Excel Alternatives

[Soupy44]

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.

Im not a spreadsheet person, but OpenOffice.org has an Excel alternative.

Lotus 123? VisiCalc? Something made this side of 1995?

+1 for Openoffice

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.
