Spreadsheets are not really made to be good at accounting and bookkeeping. GnuCash or other dedicated programs might be better. Spreadsheets are designed to do a lot of calculations.
GnuCash... haven't used it for so long that I forgot it did exist. Nice suggestion, already installed it for experimenting.
I am a Calc abuser. For example, I made a tailored invoice system because there was nothing on the market for my specific needs. It runs for 10 years now, contains many thousands of records in text tables and never disappointed me. I know it shouldn't be done in Calc, it is grown over the years with the intention to make it a database after testing - it never happened.
It sounds like you are trying to set-up 2 new systems to cross-check against each other. This sounds like a complete nightmare and likely to create tons of trouble.
You're probably right. The current solution offers me in time or cloud accounting or getting a SQL server. None is an option. So GnuCash for 2015 or a year later.
