Dear RG community!
I am currently using GraphPad Prism 5.0 software to perform my statistical analyses. While it is great and very user friendly, I believe I simply outgrew it.
I would really like to get my hands on a software package able to do multi factorial ANOVAs. Is there maybe some freeware on the market? And please don't say 'R', because I just don't have the time to learn the necessary programming...
Thanks!

It is somewhat contradictory to say that "I would really like to get my hands on a software package able to do multi factorial ANOVAs." and after "And please don't say 'R', because I just don't have the time to learn the necessary programming...".
Learning a program like R is the way to do what you want. If not R, then I can suggest SAS University Edition which is also free.
But either way you need to learn some dirty stuff like a little (lets say) programming. It is not actually programming, but writing the correct syntax. That is all you need to learn and there seems to be no other user friendly magical way to do it. Good guys do not always wear white.
Well, R is the best and most widely used statistical software out there (and price is right). It has a library 'Rcommander' that gives a GUI with point-and-click interface, maybe it has some of the functionality you need.
Otherwise, have you looked into Minitab? SPSS?
If you have used SPSS before, perhaps the open-source equivalent may be of interest to you: https://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/
I agree with Dr. Walsh. Further, the 2 books below have pretty much off the shelf code for most of what you will want to do and you won't keep outgrowing software like you just did. Go with the best and forget the rest. Best wishes.
