MultiPlan is more complex, and may be more suited to a "pro" acctg type, but for me it seems overly busy and its mechanics hard to retain. For example, since I am a "science" type, calling a cell "A1" seems infinitely more reasonable (given exposure to matrix notation) than "R3C4" of MultiPlan. Hope this helps, Dennis Streveler, UC-SF
