Oh those numbers? That is a date. I will delete the original numbers and replace it with something else. Good luck.
Excel is one of those examples of a software that is only used everywhere because it used to be the best and it is overall not bad. So "everyone" already knows it and the incentive to move to something else is fairly small, because it would only be so much better. But still, why are they not developing it further? Completely crazy.
I feel like excel is still used everywhere because it's the kind of Jack of all trades.
There is a better alternative for all the applications excel is used for but no alternative that can do all at once.
LibreOffice? I mean some features are missing but I don't see why you'd need them
Maybe it's because I'm so accustomed to Excel, but Libreoffice Calc is so painful to use. Not the app that's going to win people over.
