Does BA only work with Microsoft Excel or alternatives?

It only works woth Excel as far as I know. But you can buy a legitimate 'key only' version from a lot of places for under a tenner.
I don't think I've ever paid more than £15 for any version of windows or office and they've always passed the Microsoft validation process just fine. They're usually licences from de-comissioned office PCs.

.. & if you're a little cunning, there are plenty of 'tutorials' on youtube that might be able to help you out ![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)

Sorry pal just seen this,
No I haven't I would imagine it would be too slow or not as smooth as possible.
cheers
Would be good if it could connect to more than Excel.
For example, databases and Google sheets.
Also, Windows CLI.
Just feature suggestions.
They are what I know. Would have been nicer for me if I did not have to learn VPA just to do what I need to do with BetAngel.

Prices have crept up since my post 3yrs ago, but still cheap. My personal fav is Office 2019 because you own it and it's not a subscription service like Office 365. I'm obv not responsible for who you choose but there's a company called pckeys (.uk) who've been around for a while, I got a copy of Visio from them about 18months ago and it was all legit, and they're still in business so that's another +ve.Emmson wrote: ↑Fri Jul 10, 2020 12:21 amruthlessimon wrote: ↑Wed May 03, 2017 7:56 pm.. & if you're a little cunning, there are plenty of 'tutorials' on youtube that might be able to help you out

Life's a punt Emmson, what's my discount vs the %chance of being ripped off. I got about 80% off the first time and figured I was about 50/50 for being taken, but I must have bought about half a dozen things in the last 10yrs so my mug-factor risk feels more like about 12/1 now.

You can't escape probablity in every part of your life once it's just 2nd nature.
I've actually made more progress on Excel this week than ever before thx to a free course from Udemy, Macros will soon be visible on the horizon.
