Depends on you’re usecase. I find it handles some of my massive csvs a lot better than excel.

Does it support tables?

Ctrl-Enter to save a cell without leaving it? Ctrl-D so fill down? Double-click cell corner to fill down?

I have never seen this issues, but see people comment it all the time.
What is the issue? I use it almost exclusively for the majority of my spreadsheet work and I rarely have an issue or are required to adjust.
I haven’t had any real issues with opening xlsx files either.

The delete key asks what you’d like to delete.
Unless I tell you otherwise, I always want to delete the contents of the cell. If I wanted to clear formatting, I would have done something more than just hit delete.

It’s a little different, but works. I was in business operations for the last 20 years and relatively proficient with Excel. I’m retired now but I’m treasurer for a small community non profit organization. I recently switched to Linux desktop and found Calc handled my sheets with pivots etc. just fine. About the only thing I’m missing is End-Arrow to move to the last populated cell in a row or column, but not missing it so much to try to figure out how to do it in Calc - yet.

At this point I wish they’d release an OPTIONAL ribbon interface.

Yeah. It’s why I’ve started recommending ONLYOFFICE.

Thank you for LibreOffice. It sure takes some getting used to but I’m glad it is here. I’m trying to get used to the Collabora Office App on Android to be able to edit documents on the go.
