Excel is an amazing tool. But it also has some significant shortcomings: * A well known tendency to mangle date and gene data under the guide of being 'helpful'. * Easy to making mistakes when cutting and pasting cells. * Difficult to see what is going on in a spreadsheet. * Poor handling of CSV files. Some of these shortcoming are inherent to spreadsheets. Others are specific to Excel, but hard to overcome due to the weight of backward compatibility. I have written a product for transforming and analysing tabular data (https://www.easydatatransform.com https://www.easydatatransform.com) that tries to overcome these issues: * Doesn't change your input data file. * Doesn't re-interpret your data, unless you ask it to. * See changes as a visual data flow. * Operations happen on a whole table or column. * Good handling of CSV files. Also it doesn't try to do everything Excel does. It is a fairly new tool. Would appreciate some feedback.

Website looks great. Will try shortly and I'm more than willing to give you my money if it delivers. We need a product like this. Edit: great call out to 7 days of non consecutive use

I'm a business guy, so I don't know much about it, but looks very useful and easy! I have been off the game for 5 years now, but I used to run a magento ecommerce, and I think your software might have helped managing products listings and stuff like that at the time. You might wanna take a look at this costumer segment, particularly small and medium businesses. They probably have a process for this already, but your software might be a good replacement, even though they won't be actively looking for it because they already have something that works. Good luck!
