Installing, learning, and configuring an entirely different operating system, and then installing compatible software to do everything you need to get done, is a LOT of work if your problem is just "I can't get my spreadsheet to add column 15 automatically."
The OP's problem is a Smart control issue, and not a computer problem at all, so it doesn't matter.
But it's really not helpful and can be very frustrating and confusing to someone who doesn't know anything about the inner workings of computers, when they're told to switch operating systems. They have the OS they have. They need help working within those parameters.
