Reply to comment by sadiesaysit in LPT: Take a few days to familiarize yourself with a spreadsheet app (e.g., MS Excel, Google Sheets). The uses are endless for school, the office, life, and other people will think you're a wizard. by tophswanson

Excel is probably the most wide-spread tool in offices.

My favourite is Google Spreadsheets / Docs, as it runs on almost any device with a browser and in an app on my Android phone. It also allows multiple users to view, comment on and edit the same document.

Then you have open office / libre office, which are open source clones of excel. They however use open document file formats, which are not supported by Excel.

Overall, they all work very similarly with slight differences in how to format formulas.

So, learning any of them gets you half-way to knowing the other.
