Love it or hate it (especially the price tag) Excel is the best when it comes to spreadsheets. The major problem with OpenOffice is that the people programming Openoffice can only create as many similar functions as they THEMSELVES know how to use in Excel, so it will always lag a little behind unless all the devs become huge huge excel nerds. That's not to say, however, that OpenOffice isn't great, because it certainly is. It's just not the most feature packed and easily navigable spreadsheet program, which gives Excel a big advantange for power users. OpenOffice is great for me, but my wife has to have Excel, or so she says.
If Excel was a woman i'd have married her years ago and had rampant naughty with her every waking moment.
An incredibly useful program. Nothing else has really caught up yet. Maybe now that OOXML is an open standard OpenOffice will be able to catch up with it.
Best game Micorsoft ever published... what... using it is fun.
Without it, chaos would rule
Get OpenOffice or NeoOffice on OSX. Microsoft will continue to move their "standards" around to keep you buying more Microsoft. Too bad OOXML was passed as a standard.
Honestly, no better product exists power-wise, and with the 2007 edition, no better one exists in simplicity of use or presentation of information.
It's great, especially this new 2007 version. It is indeed without equal.
The gold standard, what more can you say?
Best
One of the best tools from Microsoft. But openOffice is very good tool too.
The only decent spreadsheet app out there, besides I'm use to the layout (even with the ribbon), and it comes with the office bundle. I don't do anything complicated with it, just the basic functions like summation to calculate hours for software engineering tasks.
Лучшая программа по работе с электронными таблицами. OOo ему (пока?) не конкурент.
A necessary evil! Numbers (part of iWork 08) is better for presenting. But for compatability and power functions it has to be Excel. I know OpenOffice is cheaper but as I own MS office I may as well use it!
Now as for my XP system in Bootcamp/VMWare ... OOo as I don't have to pay a penny!
Who changed the name to "Office Excel"? That's about as dumb as Adobe changing "Lightroom" to "Photoshop Lightroom".
