Affordable spreadsheet software
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We used open office to analyze general ledger files. Find the outage between the balance for every day. The files were huge and would have around 100K records and hence open office was our go to software. The software helped with formula, vlookup, pivot and other mathematical formulas that were required for making our life easy. Our boss was happy because the software is free of cost and didn't need approval from higher level for reimbursement.
