Best Microsoft Office Suite Alternatives.
Ability Spreadsheet well a bit dated to use has better compatibility with excel than Softmaker's PlanMaker which has a lot of "place holder" functions that don't do anything but allow you to open and save Excel files with out actually being able to truly work with them.
In my testing I am yet to run into a excel spreadsheet that doesn't work properly in Ability Spreadsheet.
