What is Numbat?

Numbat is an open-source spreadsheet and data analysis application inspired by Microsoft Excel, but with a focus on enhanced data visualization and statistical analysis capabilities.

Like Excel, Numbat provides full spreadsheet functionality - you can enter data, formulas and create financial, statistical or scientific models. But Numbat goes beyond Excel with built-in support for advanced charts, pivot tables, statistical analysis using R, and programming capabilities with Python and JavaScript.

Some key features of Numbat include:

• Powerful charting system for data visualization - line, bar, pie, scatter plots, heatmaps and more
• Pivot tables for summarizing, analyzing and exploring data
• Seamless integration with R for statistical analysis and machine learning
• Scripting and automation using Python and JavaScript
• Collaboration capabilities like shared notebooks and version control
• Available across Windows, MacOS and Linux

With its focus on analytical workloads and advanced data visualization, Numbat is an excellent open-source alternative to Excel for data scientists, analysts, engineers and academics looking for rich capabilities without the constraints or cost of proprietary software.
