Also gnumeric seemed faster.
That's definitely true.
I'm using gnumeric for essentially all my spreadsheet stuff.
But it doesn't have as many functions as Excel.
And it doesn't really support conditional formatting where
the format depends on other cells.
LibreOffice claims to support this, but I couldn't get it
working.
I've had that working, changing the background colour of cells depending
on value, but it has been flaky in the distant past. I'm using sid, so
the problem might have been present more recently on stable.
I'm on Sid as well. And yes, I could get some things working,
but others not, and after spending a day on it, I decided to go
for Excel.
And even on Excel it was somewhat shaky.
Reading the working Excel version into LO again didn't work.
But that was a one-time task, for all my other needs gnumeric
works pretty well :-)
