Best/easiest spreadsheet program?

[tcs11705]

And could you say perhaps which has the best tutorial you might've found?

Thanks.

I use Excel at work and LibreOffice at home (Linux user). Both programs accomplish the same goal and are reasonably easy to do what I need to do.
I often find myself googling how to perform a goal that I have in mind. I always seem to be able to accomplish what I need, whether it be formulas to force Excel to round to the nearest five or automatically change cells using conditional formatting. So no, I don't know of any specific tutorials, but would be interested if someone has a better source than Google.

No such thing.

If you want all the open source goodness without the bloat, try Gnumeric.

Try running the FFT() function on 4096 data points.

If you decide to use MS Excel here is the best source I've found for getting excel questions answered by experienced folks.

I use the latest Excel at work, and OpenOffice at home.

Excel is definetely better overall, but for the small number of spreadsheets I make for personal use, OpenOffice is a better choice because it is free. For work where the cost is less important than my time, Excel is better.

I second the recommendation of Google sheets. I like the fact that data is stored remotely, so can be accessed from anywhere and can be shared. My wife and I share a sheet for household budget and expenses. Google also keeps previous versions of the sheet. I can't say much for their tutorial, but find that I can use the extensive help/tutorials that exist for Excel since many of the functions are the same.

Soon it may be the case that:
At HOME where the cost is less important than my time.

I also use both, mostly Excel when I need to work with other people who use Excel, mainly work and church.
I use OpenOffice at home because I don't need to do that much, and I can get it and install/upgrade it whenever
I need to on any desktop/laptop I use whether Linux or MS Windows. So open office actually is easier for me.
