I’m saying that case by case, person by person there are alternatives (software and/or processes). E.g.

• If you want features A,B,C then use alternative X

• If you want features C,D,E then use alternative Y

• If you want features A,D,F then use alternative Z

But if your team needs A,B,C,D,E & F then we come to your point that there is no alternative.

I just didn’t want people reading this thread to automatically jump to the “must use excel” conclusion.

There are lots of Excel alternatives.

There is nothing that matches every single feature of excel in 2026.
