Spreadsheets that are parts of suites
[edit]- Apache OpenOffice Calc — for MS Windows, Linux and the Apple Macintosh. Started as StarOffice, later as OpenOffice.org. It has not received a major update since 2014 and security fixes have not been prompt.
- Collabora Online Calc — Enterprise-ready LibreOffice, included with Online, Mobile and Desktop apps
- Gnumeric — for Linux. Started as the GNOME desktop spreadsheet. Reasonably lightweight but has very advanced features.
- KSpread — following the fork of the Calligra Suite from KOffice in mid-2010, superseded by KCells in KOffice and Sheets in the Calligra Suite.[4]
- LibreOffice Calc — developed for MS Windows, Linux, BSD and Apple Macintosh (Mac) operating systems by The Document Foundation. The Document Foundation was formed in mid-2010 by several large organisations such as Google, Red Hat, Canonical (Ubuntu) and Novell along with the OpenOffice.org community (developed by Sun) and various OpenOffice.org forks, notably Go-oo. Go-oo had been the "OpenOffice" used in Ubuntu and elsewhere. Started as StarOffice in the late 1990s, it became OpenOffice under Sun and then LibreOffice in mid-2010. The Document Foundation works with external organisations such as the Apache Foundation to help drive all three products forward.[5]
- Siag — for Linux, OpenBSD and Apple Mac OS X. A simple old spreadsheet, part of Siag Office.[6]
- Sheets — for MS Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, Apple 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.[7]
