Possibly. Open an issue on GitHub and add a link to a sample file.

Excel is a nice job-creation measure for freelancers. Re-implementing such sheet in C# was a full time job for several years for me. Modern development tools (in contrast to C or Assembler) help the user to maintain its sanity by preventing him from hurting himself. You need much less of unspoken practices to develop in Java then in C. And you will hurt yourself much later. The same goes for databases. You need much less foresight when you write SQL, but the optimizer will be overwhelmed sooner or later, if you are doing something complex. I would say that CubeWeaver prevents the user from shooting himself in the foot for much longer than Excel.

ZigZag seems like something very abstract and mathematical. CubeWeaver is just a spreadsheet with drop-down filters if you like.

Just watched the video. I think it is a different approach. The spreadsheets in the video seem row-oriented. It goes more in the direction of a relational database. CubeWeaver is multidimensional, so you don't need a group by function. You can group by a dimension just by creating a new worksheet with less dimensions and copying the data from the original worksheet using a formula. You can also group by an attribute using the JOIN function.

The masterdata is stored as JSON to avoid creating/dropping columns and tables as list/columns are added and removed. But an option to have a fully normalized relational structure in an on-premise installation is on my feature list. It could be useful for enterprise clients who could use the data directly for reports and other applications.

If you choose the on-premise options no data will ever leave your company. Administrators will install the software on a server inside your company and will be responsible for updates, backups and security of the server.

I don't think AirTable is a competitor in any way. As far as it is something like Sharepoint. I think the logo was created before AirTable was there at all.

The sausage is 100% free from gluten and web assembly.

Thank you. It is an Angular 9 SPA frontend with a .NET Core backend and an SQL database (MySQL or SQLITE) as a data store. I use several open source libraries. Handsontable is used to display the grid for example. A complete list is available in the help->about dialog.

I would suggest to test the cloud version with some dummy data first, so that you know that the application is ok for you. On premise version is also available, but not for free. You will also need either some Linux know how or my support to install, maintain and keep your installation updated.

I don't think a multidimensional spreadsheet (like Lotus Improv) makes sense for a single user. Multidimensionality introduces a lot of complexity and it is only justified by very complex models. Apart from some special cases this complexity is only there when at least 5-10 people are entering the data. Web application is much easier to rollout in a corporate environment. And I don't see any drawbacks. I don't have MS Office for example and use only Google Sheet for a long time already.
