hey, I need a light alternative for libreoffice calc, microsoft excel I need to just sum all sold products in the day like I do in different tables in excel and generate data like total income, total number of sold products, and plot data as chart will sc-im be good for this purpose?(USER WAS WARNED FOR THIS POST, You should always elaborate on your opinions rather than just spilling the soykaf.)

>>82720 to be honest if you were not too busy gooning and looksmaxxing you would know about Notepad ++ which is mogging on the ones you mentioned ngl

That is literally the intended usecase of Excel/Calc. You haven't mentioned why either of those don't meet your requirements.

>>82720 sc-im can do all of the basic spreadsheet operations you listed. You should watch this as a start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_8_gazN7h0 Or visit the github repo, it's pretty well documented: https://github.com/andmarti1424/sc-im I would recommend using R if you have a lot of data or want non-terminal charts. It's a programming language for statistical computing, used more like SQL than a spreadsheet viewer. >>82726 Redditor-san, it's clear from the question why Excel/Calc don't meet the requirements. Not everyone wants to use muh monolithic office package.

>>82782 Its not obvious. You wanted something light, which LibreOffice is. It sounds like youre mixing minimalist autism with business which is a terrible itdea.

If you want to automate processing data longterm take a look at R, you write a script once and just hit execute whenever you got a new file. The CSV data format is super simple plain text a b c d e 1 2 3 4 5 entry table You only need to setup a pipeline once and then its completely automated. All these office programs are more hassle to setup automated data fetching.
