I have not really found a viable plain text version to Excel that normal users can use. I have done some Excel like tasks with R, Python (pandas, and various other python sci libraries) and even SQL (postgres) but it seems its either a programming language (R, python) or a data format (csv).
I have been meaning to look into what alternatives are out there.
- confounded 9y agoR/Python scripts are 100% plain text. iPython notebooks are not.
- agentgt 9y agoI didn't say they were not. The issue is they usually do not hold the data and present the data (ie WYSIWYG). The python and R only are the formulaic part. I have not seen a format where you can toggle the data or formula and see results as well as Excel does.
