I find the opposite. Excel struggles with large files but libreoffice has no trouble, is faster and has regex. It's missing a few key functions though.

- 2Gkashmiri 5y agooh boy. regex is like amazing. i had built this massive calc file for regexing bank statements and had found like 100+ parameters/regex formulae. one day decided to try to use excel and boy i was surprised. excel didn't know what it was. i personally find calc or writer to fit m workflow and i am sure it will suit the majority of users out there.
- perl4ever 5y agoExcel has a scripting/macro language that allows custom functions, including fairly easy access to regular expressions. I got a job a couple years ago that didn't officially involve programming, and the first thing I did was a quick & dirty implementation of most of Oracle's regex function interface. This sort of thing can be reused with most Microsoft Office applications, too.
