Excel is sooo much than it used to be in Office 97. And it's way better than any other spreadsheet software I've tried.

Speaking of, anyone know of any alternative that handles named tables the same as Excel? Built-in filtering/sorting and formulas that can address the table itself instead of a cell range?? Please?

SQL?

Seriously. If you are talking about querying tables, Excel is the wrong tool to use. You need to be looking at SQL.
