No shaving off leading zeroes, no assuming I want a formula unless I explicitly prepend the cell with an = (or whatever the syntax is). If I want a string that starts with a hyphen, it’s just a string that starts with a hyphen. If I open a CSV or TSV file and save a copy without doing anything to it, it should be identical to the original down to hashing the same.

But I’d also like the nice auto-filtering capabilities that excel has, where there’s a dropdown on each column for sorting and searching.

Does such a program exist?

    Format your cells to be text and there should be no data related behavior like you describe.
