I'm looking for some new spreadsheet software what are people using?

If you use spreadsheets a lot I think Excel pays for itself. Google Sheets offers the most common alternative, free. Macs/iPads come with Numbers, no additional charge.

I get wanting to use free software but sometimes you get what you pay for. Since pretty much everyone who uses spreadsheets uses Excel you just waste your time and energy trying to swim upstream.

if you don't need the .xlsx format specifically then something like grist might be something that interest you

https://github.com/gristlabs/grist-core

there's a self hosted option that i tested in docker and it was fairly simple to get set up, but im mainly using the free version at the moment that is hosted by gristlabs themselves.

the thing i love about it is being able to use python to write formulas, and also being able to have multiple views on one page such as a table view and then a card view that shows information from whatever item is selected in the table view.

ive been using it for about a year now and i couldn't see myself ever going back to regular spreadsheets

> I'm currently using Libreoffice 7.4.3 and It's really buggy and keeps crashing when I scroll

Have you checked to see if this bug has been reported -- and if not have you reported it to the Libreoffice developers?

They can't fix what they don't know is happening (if the bug is unreported).

I'm a big fan of Gnumeric for all my personal stuff. It's not as feature-rich as Excel, but does everything I need, and is fast and focused.

If you are a command-line user, try visidata[0]

If you know SQL and work with large CSVs (that exceed excel limit), I recommend https://superintendent.app (disclaimer: I'm the creator). But it is still not free though.

What about in-browser "standard" options like google sheet and MS excel online ? That's what I use (even offline)

Take a look at this list for some free options : https://alternativeto.net/category/productivity/spreadsheet/...

I wish there was a mode to revert Excel back to how it was in 2010.

Maybe some things are better now? But it's not as "crisp" and fast and clean as back then.

https://rows.com/ It's quite a nice web-based option, based on my limited usage of it.

Sounds like it might be worth figuring out why it crashes.

Do you have spreadsheets that are way too big and don't belong in any spreadsheet app at all?

Is it Windows's fault somehow?

Office 365, shared amongst friends (5 license) with the large amount of storage can be worth it.

Otherwise run LibreOffice on Linux?

libreoffice ...

idk, i don't do much with spreadsheets - calculating sums over columns mostly - this feature works like a charm and w/o crashes... but i use it on a linux-desktop system.

and as always: next year is the year of the linux-desktop ;))

Depending on what you need it for, Airtable might work?
