There already is (and has been for some time) a "better Excell" that'a also a "better Ms Access" at the same time: Quantrix (http://www.quantrix.com/ http://www.quantrix.com/), it can replace brittle spreadsheets with much easier to manage documents and do much more
...but there's a problem with it: it's just too much for 99% of people, both as features (It's probably easier to learn a general purpose programming language) and as price :)
- EzGraphs 14y agoYeah - I recall looking at them a few years ago when they allowed for "multi-dimensional" spreadsheets. One of their other big selling points was that they were less error-prone than spreadsheets. http://www.quantrix.com/Quantrix_vs_Spreadsheets.htm http://www.quantrix.com/Quantrix_vs_Spreadsheets.htm
- nnq 14y agoIf someone would: (a) develop a web-based version of it, (b) make it easy to use (hard part 1), (c) make excell (ab)users realize that they really need it (hard part 2 - maybe impossible? :) ), (d) make it extendable with multiple general purpose programming languages (python, ruby, ocaml or f#...) and (e) give a "personal/student version" for free to get people hooked on it, it would really shake things up in this area... P.S. If you get filthy rich from my 5 point plan above, please remember to give me and my company a life-long full-support license for your software :) P.S.2. ...or open-source it and become the Linus of financial analysis software ;)
