Check out the new video on Libre Calc, a great alternative to excel and google products. In this video we replicate the excel tutorial and show basic time series functions. I also pivot/visualize the data, and this is completed in a few simple steps.

Why do I like Libre Calc?

1. Its free, Microsoft office follows a SAS model and that’s not something I’m too fond of.
2. Other free hosted material has access to your data, so if you want to keep it local, this is a great alternative to google sheets.
3. Its just as powerful as other mainstream software and easy to use.
4. Runs on Linux!

In the next video will focus on python and organizing the data using jupyter notebooks and pandas. We will visualize the data a few different ways looking at matplotlib, seaborn, and altair, so stay tuned!

I hope you enjoy the video, leave a comment with any suggestions/requests for content!
