What do you like best about Apache OpenOffice Calc?

I use Calc when I need to insert formulas into my reports. I have the ability to write it correctly and obtain a formula whose readability is ensured. I use it in combination with Writer and Impress because they are interoperable with each other. The pre-set formula graphics are very useful, allowing you to easily insert your own data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache OpenOffice Calc?

The graphical aspect is not very intuitive, sometimes it is difficult to find the commands. Certainly, frequent use allows this problem to be resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apache OpenOffice Calc?

OpenOffice's Calc program has all the major spreadsheet tools I need to easily format cells, insert basic and advanced formulas and format text as I would in a standard text document editor. I like that fact that this is open source software that continually gets updated for performance and security improvements. Calc does a great job at keeping up with the industry standards of spreadsheet features and maintains smooth compatibility with all of the operating systems I normally use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache OpenOffice Calc?

The overall design isn't modern-looking like Microsoft or Google software. Some of the formatting between other spreadsheet applications will occasionally not appear the same in Calc. Sometimes when I do a conference call and discuss a spreadsheet sent to me by someone that used an application other than Calc, there can be some confusion into what we're looking at. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apache OpenOffice Calc:

Calc is a solid part of the OpenOffice family of software and has been around for a while. If you're new to open source software, then I think OpenOffice and Calc is great place to start with a supportive development community and years of industry use by many professionals.

What do you like best about Apache OpenOffice Calc?

I love how easy this program is to use. I was using a competing software and it was expensive and this was FREE, at least for the regular version. I have had nothing but luck with this program and it has all the same things that the other program has, just with less hassle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
