Hello Ameenah R Fuller. Questions like yours usually just prompt people to respond by listing their own favourite stats packages. I reckon you'll increase the likelihood of getting helpful responses if you provide a bit more information. E.g.,
1) What types of data analysis do you need or want to do?
2) What statistical software packages are supported by your institution?
3) Are you already familiar with any stats packages? If so, which ones?
Thanks for clarifying.
PS- Using spreadsheets for (serious) data analysis is ill-advised IMO. For more info, do a Google search on .
