What do you like best about LibreOffice Calc?

It has nearly all the functions Excel has and is very well documented. Whenever I run into something I'm not sure how to do, a quick search on the internet usually yields the answer I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice Calc?

The functions are a little tricky. Seems like Excel and Google Sheets are a little more user friendly as far as functions go, but it's bearable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LibreOffice Calc:

Test out your most common workflow to see if it can be completely ported to Calc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LibreOffice Calc solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Calc for all my spreadsheet needs. I have a few Google Sheets, but only because they have App Scripts that only work with that platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LibreOffice Calc?

Out of all the LibreOffice tools, I use Calc the most as i find it more to my liking compared to GoogleSheets (Which we use for collaborative work). I still find offline apps to be more reliable and snappy compared to webapps like GSuite. Libre Calc still covers all the bases for me, mostly databases related work.. did I mention it's Free?? You can be in the middle of nowhere with no laptop in tow, happen to borrow someone else laptop to beat a deadline only to find they dont have excel, and you just dont like webapps... Just go download LibreOffice Calc...and you're set Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice Calc?

Charting and graphing is still better on Excel, but that is to be expected since it's from a Tech Giant like Microsoft. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LibreOffice Calc solving and how is that benefiting you?

Best free alternative to MS Excel. Cost-savings for smaller business that need to equipped their staff with spreadsheet app but can't afford Excel Licenses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about LibreOffice Calc?

* I can import Excel spreadsheets before some of my colleagues can read them, because LibreOffice Calc is updated quickly and automatically after every MS Office file format update.

* Excel may be impacted by viruses in its scripts, but LibreOffice Calc does not use the same script language, so the viruses are not a danger.

* It is community supported, and I have influenced that community to allow CSV files named *.XLS to be imported like Excel spreadsheets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice Calc?

* Excel VBA is not removed, but just not used, so viruses could be passed on the Excel users without the knowledge of LibreOffice Calc users.

* There are a few Excel functions that don't yet exist for LibreOffice Calc users, but not many. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LibreOffice Calc solving and how is that benefiting you?

* All of my company's spreadsheets are processed using LibreOffice Calc.

* LibreOffice Calc is cheaper and updated more frequently than Excel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LibreOffice Calc?

The software is free and works well on Ubuntu, and is usually able to open Excel documents without too many issues. However, for generating and creating your own Excel like worksheets it lacks many of the necessary features needed to be a complete replacement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice Calc?

The software is clunky in both its UI and what it is capable of doing. I am unsure if it is due to copyright that it has to perform such roundabout methods to achieve the same thing, but the functionality and ease of use are miles worse than Excel or even Google Sheets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LibreOffice Calc:

Use excel if you can, but for a free Ubuntu version you can make do and use it to read sent xmls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LibreOffice Calc solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ubuntu users can easily open Excel documents that are generated by the customer and which we need to use for looking at CSV files generated on the project. However, Excel is usually the software of choice for most if you have windows or even a MAC, which the customer does. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LibreOffice Calc?

All the functionalities are very useful and the program works flawlessly, at least on my Windows system. I have to say that what I like the most is that this is a free-to-use tool, but it is not bad for that. The function system works in a similar way to Excel. And I have been able to integrate tables that I have made in other Programs without any problem including Google Docs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice Calc?

Some functions of the program are a bit hidden and sometimes it is difficult for me to find them. Also, I think the program's interface is a bit outdated. Also, I think a function that syncs content to the cloud would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LibreOffice Calc:

If you want a simple tool to help you manage content locally, this is an excellent tool. If, on the other hand, you want to share the data with your work team, you should look for another alternative that allows you to work in the cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LibreOffice Calc solving and how is that benefiting you?

Although not all the information is managed in this system, I have organized my itinerary and the orders of my work team in a more efficient way. But for other functions that require diligence, I have used another platform that works directly in the cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LibreOffice Calc?

LibreOffice Calc is the best and perhaps only strong reason to use LibreOffice. I have used LibreOffice and home and work for the last 15 years. Calc has seen me torture it with gobs of data time and time again. I have gotten it to crash occasionally, but with what I was doing to it, I knew it was a possibility. I routinely use Calc for data imports to our ERP system, Odoo. It handles running multiple VLOOKUP queries per line over thousands of rows without a problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice Calc?

Every now and then, when you torture the program, it will crash. My problems with the LibreOffice suite do not come from Calc, but rather from Writer, which infuriates me. I have come to see Calc as a trusted resource. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LibreOffice Calc:

There are more options these dase for spreadsheets, including Google Sheets. If you need to work on a project, you might want to go for a cloud-based alternative, even if it isn't as mature, like Google Sheets. If you need something more traditional, then LibreOffice Calc is for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LibreOffice Calc solving and how is that benefiting you?

We don't have to pay for MS Office. Although sometimes I wonder if we should migrate from Google Workspace (GSuite) to Office365, if only for Office and the extra storage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LibreOffice Calc?

I enjoy the versatility of LibreOffice Calc. I've used it to create presentable QA reviews, record and calculate stats for marketing and sales purposes, and organize lists of names and data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice Calc?

While creating custom formulae is possible, LibreOffice Calc does not make it very easy. For example, I could not set up alternating row colors without much trial and error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LibreOffice Calc solving and how is that benefiting you?

I need a place to organize and store data. LibreOffice Calc fulfills that purpose while being relatively user-friendly. It also helps me present data to my supervisors in a plain way with colors and chards so that I don't need to explain every detail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
