Open Office is a nice free alternative to Excel. It's actually an office suite program that has a word processor, database, spreadsheet, etc. You can also open Excel files with Open Office (though i'm not so sure on the other way around).

that sounds great, but do you know if it will open the cheat sheet i've already kind of created in Paint?

you doubt i'm serious, or you doubt that i'll be able to open my Paint spreadsheet in this new program? Because i thought i got mine pretty good, and was hoping to maybe just tweak it out with the Open Office thing.

wow you were actually able to make one on paint that's......impressive? :-S

Anyways sorry to break it to you but I don't see how you could bring that into excel. You would just have to input the data again.

Trust me it will be easier this time though ;-D

Abrage, if you have a google account you can use their documents section to create and edit spreadsheets. It's free, reasonably useful, and handy since you'll have it anywhere you have access to a computer. Just go to google and click on the "More" drop-down menu.

Once you get that going, you just plug your stats into the sheet and calculate based on your league's numbers.

No problem. Once you're up and running with that, don't hesitate to ask people here about formulas and stuff. There are lots of spreadsheet gurus around the Cafe. ;-D
