Libre calc is a great replacement imo. It has support for excel vba macros, but you can also make macros in Python, JavaScript, and their own macro language. For the most part it’s cross compatible with excel, but doesn’t support their xlsm file type as far as I know.
That’s what I came here to post. People always think that other software are actual options. If you are using drools rules then other software can’t even follow the xlsx standard properly enough to even allow drools to compile correctly. It sucks because I’d rather not have to get licenses for my whole team to use excel when there’s plenty of free options and we don’t even use it that much, but it’s just so far into another league it isn’t even close.

Hah, with no attempt to explain because it’s very self explanatory.

What are drools rules? All the pages I’m reading are very high level “bueiness rules” what does that even mean?
