Microsoft alternative: Nextcloud and Ionos develop open-source ‘Euro-Office’ - Reddthat
>Nextcloud, Ionos and other partners are developing an open-source office suite
under the project name „Euro-Office“ as an alternative to the market-dominant
Microsoft Office. > >The two partners are not starting from scratch, but have
forked the components of OnlyOffice available as open-source code and want to
build on them. In the summer, the software is then intended to replace the
previous office component Collabora in Nextcloud and the Ionos Nextcloud
Workspace. A ‘technical preview’ is already available on GitHub
[https://github.com/Euro-Office/]. While this is a good news, I think they
should move from github, you know microslop copilot…
Are there any real, actually good replacements for Excel? As a daily power user, every alternative I’ve tried to date pales in comparison.
I hear this argument a lot but no one ever gives details as to what common features excel has vs say libreoffice. I’m really curious, because i’d like to contribute free time in this direction.
I’m confused. Excel is a spreadsheet, that’s always in the form of a table.
that downvoter really could have instead done something useful and explain what “format as table” is
A table in Excel will have a name that can be referenced. It will also automatically grow larger when you type in the row under the last row. You can have multiple tables within a sheet. It comes with extensive filters. In LibreCalc you can only set filters but everything else remains static. It’s literally the most used thing in Excel.
You just described the basic functions of a database. People are building a databases in spreadsheets. That’s not a reason to keep using Excel, that’s a reason to have an intervention lol
The workflow to set up some basic calculations with ranges formatted as tables is just much quicker. I believe that’s why Excel keeps winning unfortunately. I just tried doing some basic things in LibreCalc and it was very cumbersome unfortunately. At home I don’t mind this, but at work I’d be pissed if I’d lose that functionality. It would seriously hold me back.
