LibreOffice Calc Pros and Cons

One of the best spreadsheets around. It has ease of use comparable to that of the more renowned Microsoft product, a lightness of installation/execution that allows it to run quite well even on older computers (an important factor for those committed to economy), and it is translated into many languages.

If you work with the Open XML format, there are no problems, not even in data exchange. If, alas, you try to use Microsoft's standard format, compatibility issues persist. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It comes by default with Ubuntu OS. It functions similar to Microsoft Excel. It is very easy to use. Application of formulas on specially on large data is much easier in this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it creates problem in opening csv files and xlsx format files. Sometimes data get corrupted when stored in other than ods format.
