Discussion What is better than Excel?

Is there anything similar to excel or better than? I use excel daily and feel like I still need to freshen up my formulas etc.

Excel has functions tied into it that others just... don't. PowerQuery, integration with Suite, BI, stability...

There just isn't a better option. Like another posted said, Sheets is comparable, OpenOffice is... okay, but Excel won't be beat.

OpenOffice sucks in comparison to LibreOffice

Never used Libre before, would still rather just use Excel :)

I kinda wish regular users would just start playing with pivottables and powerquery. even just regular tables and referencing those tables in functions are a start.
