Occasionally i need a 3D spreadsheet for something that's very hard or tedious to do in a regular 2D spreadsheet like LibreOffice Calc. The only relevant program i can find is Xcubes (no Linux support) or Minecraft i guess if i try hard enough to make spreadsheets in it (a block of floating lecterns, or maybe signs on glass).

Does anyone know a program that can organize data in more than two dimensions, even if it lacks stuff like the math operations that make Calc or Excel better than graph paper? Better if it's FOSS but i'll take what i can get.

Yes, though something that can render in 3D would be nice for visualizing what the data mean. And while that works for 3D, suppose you need something with a fourth axis. You would have to add another level of tabs to keep your tabs in for each new dimension. Not that you'd usually need more than like 5D, but still.
