I’ve used Excel and Calc and the short answer is ‘everything’. Excel is faster, more reliable and has a much bigger community.
Calc is ok if you want to work with small spreadsheets and don’t care about the occasional bug.
- nocman 2y agonot the parent, but 'everything' is a mostly unhelpful answer. A few important concrete examples would be much more interesting. In fairness, you did somewhat, but I would be interested in some more details.
- baq 2y agoI mean this literally: Everything you can do in Calc, Excel is better at in either UX or performance, usually both. Even typing formulas in cells is snappier in Excel.
- Cordiali 2y agoA very basic example, Calc doesn't have tables. That's enough for me to not want to use it, but there are probably a dozen of those for me.
- max51 2y agoIt's like asking what are the differences between Visual Studio and Notepad++. Literally >90% of the tools in Excel don't exist in Calc. And there are big ones in the list (eg. pivot table, vba macros, solver), not just small feature..
