I love the ease of use of this program. You don't need any special training to use it - and it is very user friendly. It is also very fast. For example, when I was running some basic calculations (which could be performed with Excel) it took about 10 seconds to run them. I also found that it did a lot of things "for free" that I had never seen before. For example, if I added a new column it would calculate the sum of every cell in that column automatically. This feature saved me hours of work…

Pros
  • It's easy to use
  • It's powerful
  • Has lots of features
Cons
  • It's slow at times
  • Can be confusing at times

This product has the potential to be great, but is currently a bit of a mess. I'm working on a project where I have to input financial information daily. At first I tried using the built in excel function to input my transactions, but it was cumbersome and slow. So I decided to use the libre office calc instead. Now it took me a couple of hours to figure out how to input my transactions into the excel format, so I gave up on it. A few weeks later, I stumbled across a blog post about…

Pros
  • Great feature set, very easy to use and powerful.
  • Works with csv, tab delimited, and xlsx formats.
Cons
  • No documentation at all
  • It's like learning a programming language.
  • convert string value to integer)

LibreOffice Calc has become my go-to tool for any sort of calculations. It’s so easy to use and does exactly what I need it to do without any fuss. I can easily open a document, start writing formulas, and produce spreadsheets within seconds. And if I want to edit the formula or add new ones, I can just copy them into the next cell and start working again. There are quite a lot of useful features and options available in Calc. For example, I could look at creating a bar chart with specific…

Pros
  • It is incredibly quick to write formulas, edit, view or print out your spreadsheet
  • It's very easy to navigate around and find the correct formula
Cons
  • The basic function set may not be enough for your needs
  • Some functions are limited by the amount of memory your computer has

Great alternative for those looking into using spreadsheet program

I like how quick my spreadsheets load compared with MS Office products! It also has many more options than Excel which makes calculating formulas very simple as well in comparison (especially when working within an accounting system). The interface could be easier at first but after getting used to its layout becomes much faster once again making calculations quicker overall time saved by not having any issues running large projects or tasks. Also being able use this product outside Microsoft…

Pros
  • Excellent choice is far better alternative over most expensive paid versions costing thousands yearly fees instead just one low monthly fee per user
Cons
  • All fine
