Excel (or similar) and how much?

I've got it hidden, or it should be, who voted for what you're not giving away secret sauce. Talk about it a bit. I'm kind of enjoying getting back to my spreadsheet setup times. It's like yoga to me for some reason...

Heck, I've shared my maga-spread sheet, so I don't think my vote would surprise anyone.

I use Google Sheets, which is cloud-based and free. Does that count?

EDIT: Never mind, I see the title includes "or similar."

I use Excel extensively to track financials. And to sort of track depth at positions.

No, but you do bring up a good point: I don't see how anyone in hell drafts or tracks FAs w/out a spreadsheet app

It's a little "old" now, but this is still pretty much the same.
