Hi Don,
LibreOffice, the latest version of OpenOffice, is "compatible" with
Excel, and has the bonus of being free. http://www.libreoffice.org/
If you are dealing with .csv type data, then you might look at CSVed,
another freeware program, that has a lot of nice things. Sorting, filters, etc.
http://csved.sjfrancke.nl/index.html
List of features from their webpage:
* edit, add, insert and delete items;
* import;
* change separator;
* add, delete columns;
* rearrange column order;
* save selection of rows and columns;
* save filtered items;
* save with double quotes;
* search and replace;
* filter items;
* remove duplicates;
* append and merge files;
* install and uninstall
* help in English
* add prefix and suffix
* split and join columns
* export to HTML, Excel, Word, XML and more
* proper words and strings
* column search
* column sort and global sort

Hi guys . . . I keep up with the updates from Corel on WP but have a
terrible time with Quattro Pro. Regardless of the box I'm running it
on it continuously crashes when sorting any volume of data which is
something I do a lot. I also have Excel loaded but am resistant
towards it as their menu system is totally foreign to me. Am
considering looking at some open source products. Any ideas?
