spreadsheet app

Grid-based software tool

A spreadsheet app is software for organizing data in rows and columns, performing calculations, and creating charts.

Microsoft Excel dominates the category, but Google Sheets and Apple Numbers are common alternatives.

The term distinguishes these programs from other productivity software: I'll put together the budget in a spreadsheet app.
