Alternative to MS-EXCEL

[sudipballa]

Hello Friends

Any suggestions on some lighter alternative to excel ?

I prefer using spreadsheet as my tasks/quick notes/etc maintenance tool. But MS EXCEL takes few seconds to open and close and hogs memory when active.

Pen and paper? New PC? Abacus?

HI Narayan

Thanks a lot for the link. Tried all these software just now.. all of them have one basic flaw - u cannot see the text in the cell in which you are typing (while typing). THere was one in which you could do that, but that wasnt working well with arrow keys.

need to look more :s

How about Notepad++ ? Won't be true spreadsheet but you can keep texts aligned using Code alignment plugin, for later conversion to CSV and import to spreadsheet of your choice.

Hi !

Maybe LibreOffice Portable … (not OpenOffice !)
