Product Description:

If you want more calculation power than a calculator or Appleworks, but don't want or need all the features (or the price!) of Excel, Mesa is the Mac OS X spreadsheet for you. Simple and elegant - and a pure Cocoa application - Mesa gives you the power you need in the package you want.

Multiple 'tabbed' worksheets in a workbook, just like Excel
Reads and Writes Excel files
Unlimited worksheet size - as many rows and columns as you need
All the usual Functions and copy, paste, formatting etc features you'd expect
'Undo / Redo' feature for the previous 20 steps
SmartFill[TM] automatically generates logical sequences of numbers, dates, days, etc.
Formula Inheritance[TM] makes building and maintaining worksheets faster and easier using our SMARTFILL feature. Enter a formula in one call of the worksheet, and use it again in any cell. All referenced cells will update automatically upon change and recalculation without time-consuming copy and paste.
Easily place spreadsheet ranges and graphs into presentation-quality reports using the Visual Report Builder.
Graphing capabilities (15 different chart types) allow you to effectively communicate the meaning of your data in 2D and 3D graphs.
Drag and Drop fonts and colors onto ranges and graphs for direct manipulation on screen. Use Macintosh Drag & Drop to place graphic images anywhere on a sheet or report.
Mesa features file import compatibility with Excel[TM and of course, delimited text. Save in Excel and delimited text format
When you download Mesa it will run in Evaluation Mode, restricting you to worksheets no larger than 20 rows * 20 columns. You can buy a license online to fully enable Mesa.

Will not open excel spreadsheets that have been password protected - Version: 3.1, 1/5/2007 09:47AM PST

I download Mesa 3.1 and ran it on an intel-based iMac running 10.4.7. When attempting to open an Excel 2003 (PC) spreadsheet that had been password protected, a screen came up that read (paraphrasing here): Mesa can not open password protected spreadsheets.
I then attempted to open an Excel 2003 (PC)spreadsheet that hadn't been password protected. This caused Mesa to quit. My spreadsheets usually contain no less than 10 worksheets...maybe this was the problem. The formulas I use are usually limited to SUM & PRODUCT. Very simple.
Looks like I'll give NeoOffice (http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/en/index.php) a shot.
Mesa might be okay as a stand-alone application that keeps to itself, but in a world where Excel is still so prominent I think Mesa fails.

Zoom is a good new feature - Version: 3.0.13, 8/3/2005 09:48AM PST

I have just downloaded the new version. It seems to be a useful update because the Zoom makes it much easier to use a large worksheet. I find Mesa a great spreadsheet, it's uncluttered and simple. OK, if you have very complicated needs you will be better off with Excel but for my own recordkeeping it's just fine.

Is this just for Tiger compatibility? Have any bugs been fixed?
