<div dir="ltr"><div>I concur with Brian. Also one of the problems that Excell users have who use VBscript is specifically because they are dependent on a Microsoft proprietary language. LibreOffice has tried to ameliorate that with it's Basic like scripting but does have a long way to go in that regard.<br>
<br></div>I have been using OpenOffice and LibreOffice for years and no longer have any spreadsheets in Excel (or anything in MS Office), but I have never seen any serious problems other than figuring out how to accomplish certain tasks. Excel truly has been best of class for years. I just don't need to pay for it for anything I still do.<br>

What version are you using, because I definitely can't reproduce<br>
that. If I delete any of the cells, the answer is correct.<br>

here is a good example... I found if I delete cells that<br>
functions are<br>
performed on (cell1+cell2=cell3) the total isn't recalculated (cell3<br>
isn't right).<br>

I'm not really much of an office suite user, but my<br>
experience and<br>
the feedback I've heard has always been yes it is bad<br>
compared to MS<br>
Office. I think Libre/Open office covers 90% of use cases<br>
and is<br>
more than capable of handling what most users need, however<br>
it's<br>
interface isn't nearly as good, it lacks the vbscript<br>
macros the<br>
rest of the world uses, it's charting/graphs don't look as<br>
nice and<br>
formatting comes out mangled when excel users open it (or<br>
when you<br>
open an xlsx). Microsoft has invested a lot of time, money and<br>
energy into getting Excel just right and it really is a<br>
great (if<br>
not their best) product. The heavy excel users I know that<br>
don't<br>
run Windows keep a Win7 VM around for Office/Excel use.<br>
<br>
As a side note I think one thing that the Linux/FLOSS<br>
community is<br>
very bad at is learning from what others get right. You<br>
might not<br>
like Microsoft but to claim their popularity was in no way<br>
due to<br>
making some good products is disingenuous at best. If people<br>
genuinely care about increasing Linux desktop usage (which<br>
is not of<br>
any particular interest to me personally) the right<br>
questions to ask<br>
are about what MS and Apple get right rather than what they<br>
get wrong.<br>

So I talked my brother into ditching Micro$haft and<br>
moving to Linux.<br>
Baaaad idea...<br>
The man uses Excel *HEAVILY*, and LibreOffice just<br>
could not<br>
keep up.<br>
But it was not lack of features or limitations, it was<br>
*STUPID*<br>
(but dangerous) things like cells not showing the real<br>
value<br>
and/or recalculating wrong.<br>
I didn't take his word for it, he showed me the<br>
(unbelievable)<br>
problems (I could not believe what I was seeing).<br>
The guy is back to Excel...<br>
What am I missing?<br>
