- wodenokoto 2y agoThat is not even close to being a spreadsheet.
- mtndew4brkfst 2y agoThe docs at https://www.visidata.org/docs/ https://www.visidata.org/docs/ seem to contain any trivially remembered functionality for what I think of from a spreadsheet tool. I'm not a power user and couldn't describe how to use pivot tables, for example. Are there low-hanging features you miss from that page? I agree that this is not going to satisfy something like 80-90% of people who just wanted Excel because a TUI is a nonstarter. I do think calling it "not even close" is unfair if we were strictly talking about functionality.
- kristopolous 2y agoThis looks more like a database interface and less like a tabular calculator. Supposedly part of excels good design is it was always agnostic as to whether you're using it as a spreadsheet, poor man's database, or pretty table maker.

- Someone 2y ago> Are there low-hanging features you miss from that page? It doesn’t mention ‘formula’, and that is something that the original had in 1979 (http://www.bricklin.com/history/vcexecutable.htm http://www.bricklin.com/history/vcexecutable.htm)
- saulpw 2y agoIt is unfortunately hidden under "derivative columns": https://www.visidata.org/docs/columns/ https://www.visidata.org/docs/columns/ Use = with a Python expression. Not cell-based formula but column-based Python.
