    I mean, you can run python (or their own language “LibreOffice Basic”) from within a Libreoffice Calc sheet.

    Calc’s scripting is actually more powerful than the aging VBA thing Excel uses for macros, imho.

      Very interesting… I guess my calculations can be supercharged while still technically remaining in the realm of a spreadsheet.

      Hopefully Python still runs with its usual consistency. VBA is a total nightmare in this regard. The code can randomly throw some useless error for no obvious reason. You can run the same code a few hours later and everything works perfectly even though you didn’t change anything. Can’t really use anything that unstable for anything serious.
