Go for it. I won't. Advanced features of Excel are not supported, including advanced data analysis (I can't see regression) and ability to support advanced statistical (eg, principal component analysis) and neural technology add-ins. Fail. There are others who may wish to connect to an SQL server and write queries to access data sets is simple for Excel. Good luck attempting that with Calc. It does NOT work on everything. I like to get facts correct, and if I don't I am happy to be corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Libre Office is available for Windows, Linux, both .deb and .rpm Mac, and there is a viewer for Android, so pretty universal alluding to my comment it works on everything. As for SQL server, not an area I am familiar with, but a question and answer about this is here : https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/108842/connect-calc-to-a-mysql/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
