Occasionally i need a 3D spreadsheet for something that's very hard or tedious to do in a regular 2D spreadsheet like LibreOffice Calc. The only relevant program i can find is Xcubes (no Linux support) or Minecraft i guess if i try hard enough to make spreadsheets in it (a block of floating lecterns, or maybe signs on glass).

Does anyone know a program that can organize data in more than two dimensions, even if it lacks stuff like the math operations that make Calc or Excel better than graph paper? Better if it's FOSS but i'll take what i can get.

Hmm. I see. I'm not aware of something that I think would be particularly good for that which already exists, but it's the kind of thing that sounds like it might be possible to hack together quickly with an HTML table, contenteditable (or input tags), a few buttons/select tags/etc, a bit of JavaScript, and maybe python3 -m http.server or a Python script using tornado depending on what was needed exactly... but maybe I've been in web programming land too long.
