Another one is google sheets. Google sheets  gives Excel a run for its money in terms of name recognition. And all you need to use it is a free Google account. It's tightly integrated with all of the other Google apps you use—including Google Analytics, Google Data Studio, and Google Forms. For example, you can easily populate a spreadsheet with data from a web form by clicking Forms > Create a Form, or you can turn your spreadsheet data into advanced visualizations via Google Data Studio.
