List of spreadsheet software
The following is a list of spreadsheets.
OpenSource and Free Software
Cloud and On-line Spreadsheets
Spreadsheets that are parts of suites
- Gnumeric - for Windows and Linux. Started as the Linux Gnome desktop spreadsheet. Reasonably light-weight but has very advanced features.[3]
- Kingsoft Office Spreadsheets Free 2012 - For MS Windows. It can handle Microsoft Excel .xls and .xlsx files, and also produce other file formats such as .et, .txt, .csv, .pdf, and .dbf. [4]
- KSpread - following the fork of the Calligra Suite from KOffice in mid-2010, superseded by KCells in KOffice and Tables in the Calligra Suite. [5]
- LibreOffice Calc - developed for Windows, Linux, Bsd and Mac operating systems by The Document Foundation. TDF was formed in mid-2010 by several large organisations such as Google, RedHat, Canonical (Ubuntu) and Novell along with the OOo Community (developed by Sun) and various OpenOffice.org forks, notably Go-oo. Go-oo had been the "OpenOffice" used in Ubuntu and elsewhere. LibreOffice started as StarOffice in the late 1990s, became OpenOffice under Sun and then LibreOffice in mid-2010. TDF works with external organisations such as NeoOffice and Apache Foundation to help drive all 3 products forwards. [6]
- NeoOffice - for Mac. Started as an OpenOffice.org port to Macs but by using the Mac-specific Aqua user interface instead of the more widely used X11 windowing server it aimed to be far more stable than the normal ports of other suites.[7]
- OpenOffice.org Calc - for Windows, Linux and Mac. Started as StarOffice. Sun changed the name to OpenOffice.org and developed a community of developers (and others) between the late 1990s and mid-2010. Oracle gave it to the Apache Foundation in 2011. IBM contributed their fork of OOo, IBM Lotus Symphony, to Apache a few weeks later. [8]
- Siag - for Linux, OpenBSD and Mac OS X. A a simple old spreadsheet, part of Siag Office.[9]
- Tables - for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X and Haiku. Part of the extensive Calligra Suite. Possibly still mainly for Linux but ports have been developed for other Operating Systems.[10]
