I’m far from a spreadsheet super user, but Excel really is in a class by itself. The rest of the office suite, however, is easily replaced by open source.
As someone who uses Excel on a daily basis: Excel is a bloated, unstable, bug-ridden pile of crap
Indeed a class of its own, at least since the fall of Lotus.
Try LibreOffice calc.
I think Word is harder to replace because formatting issues assuming documents are in word format
Sorry, but no. It's awful. Tried it out when I was doing my taxes. Basic shit is just hidden and convoluted it just not possible.
I use Calc, and it does just fine for my use case. But I know people in finance whose work relies on the powerful advanced features excel has and LO just doesn’t yet.
Funny enough, I haven’t touched a word processor or slide deck program in years.
Use PDF instead of Word format.
