Versions of Logistix (a popular PC spreadsheet) have been available for the
ST for some time. There is also VIP Professional (a 1-2-3 clone, but with
GEM graphics);  I haven't seen this around for some time but it IS good and
it does handle 1-2-3 data properly.

Actually I think you'd be better off installing Minix and buying the Mac,
because Minix is more fun!
