I really like libreoffice honestly. In my job I have to use docs but I find myself copying from libre office most of the time. Prior to that, I used to create all my visuals with office and do my graphs in excel. So I’ve tried a few different ways to do things. Libre reminds me of old school products and I kind of like that. Plus it does what I want with shapes. Which is nice when I need to make visuals. I still use excel though, for now.
I was hoping your last sentence was a replacement for Excel. I use Excel to maintain the books for my business. I’ve built a really nice book for keeping track. The thought of migrating it to something where certain functions may not work keeps me paying my subscription fees.
How much do you pay? Maybe you can pay someone to write you a custom program to do those things. Maybe in libre office, or python, or some other language with gui and plots.
I avoid spreadsheets in general. But I have used some pretty funky formulas in libre office’s calc. I’m just kind of curious what formulas you use that aren’t supported in Calc.
Fair enough. It’s hard to learn something new when what you have works and you know it. And if what you have works, then yeah. I get that. Especially if you have lots of visuals and themes. I think libre office calc is pretty ugly. But I also don’t try and make things look better either

What is it, $100 a year for office? Been a long time, don’t even think about it anymore.
In that case you can probably find someone for $100-200 that’ll check your excel logic and make sure it works on libre office. Or python script
It’s more of a “haven’t experimented” with the alternatives yet rather than them not being good. Mainly a time issue for me.

I do a lot of data entry stuff and have some custom sheets and graphs I’ve made for individuals over the years. Time, mainly.
