Spreadsheet program
« on: March 27, 2017, 11:03:02 PM »
So, my A2000 hard drive crashed and I'm having to re-install EVERYTHING!

Decided I need to add a decent spreadsheet on my miggy.

I'd really like something that does tabs like Micro$oft Excel.

Any recommendations?

Programs to avoid at all costs?

Thanks,

Turbocalc came free with my A1200 "Magic Pack". I played around with it some. I'm not too into making spreadsheets.

there is one called StarAm_Plan on Aminet.

It says for OS 3.0 and above, so maybe it's worth a shot.

I bought Turbocalc 5 shortly before my A2000 died a few years ago.  I never had a chance to use it in-depth, but it worked fine for the brief time I had it (lost in a move).

Final Calc was my go-to Amiga spreadsheet for a long time.

There is also Ignition for 68k which I find it really good.

With AmigaOS 1.3 I used MaxiPlan a lot. It is very good Spreadsheet. Voted best Spreadsheet Amiga 1986.

As far as I know none of the Amiga spreadsheets have tabbed sheets.  Other than that the recommendations so far should all be fine and the ones on Aminet are the best place to start.  

I think Terminills may have got the rights to Final Calc along with Final Writer so that may see further development.  Tim?

There does seem to be some ongoing development of Ignition with a newer version existing for OS4, according to the Sourceforge page it should still build on 3.9.  There is a mailing list so you could join that to discuss the likelihood of tabbed sheets being added to the list of features.
