I used to use spreadsheets. Using range calculations and having the spreadsheet modify a total calculation on a range when a new entry is inserted within the ranage is ok. But it is slow when you get over a few months entries. It is cumbersome to add new accounts or switch entries in an account. And, lookups for autocomplete is very slow. As a pgm dedicated to checkbook balancing, MoneyDance makes that task, and especially reconciliation, very easy. Reports are a bonus. It will cost you nothing to try MoneyDance...
