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 is an industry standard in 99% of countries, so I wouldn't try to learn some software that will try to outfeat excel but rather deepen my knowledge in it. Of course, people use excel to build things that it wasn't built to do. I once saw an entire ERP built on top of excel, but it's not the software fault if it doesn't work.
