Visicalc? How about a web app - Google sheets? It gains features every day and it's imminently accessible.

Numerous similar apps depending on what online platform you prefer.

VisiCalc is the first spreadsheet program:

The point I'm making by bringing up VisiCalc is, if your needs are basic enough, any spreadsheet program will do the job, even the first one. You'll only understand why the more modern desktop spreadsheet programs are more advanced if you have a reason to use the newer features.

There's nothing wrong with VisiCalc. It's incredibly basic (even for the time), but I still have a copy on my computer - I admit, though, that I use Lotus 123 more often.
