    Does liber office make .docx files and export to pdf?

    It does. It’s fine as a replacement for Word, but no one has an answer for Excel. LibreOffice Calc is fine for a basic spreadsheet, but Excel is in a completely different universe than Calc with anything beyond that.

    To be fair though, Excel is in a completely different universe than literally any other competing product.

      I think calc is fine for a lot of use cases. I use it all the time. It is different though.

      For advanced stuff I’d rather use Python anyway to be honest.

        Sheets is capable enough for the average person but a business is always going to want to use Excel because it’s the industry standard.

        I can’t remember the last time I actually needed a spreadsheet for anything other than looking at a bunch of tabular data, but I’m a programmer so I’m not the standard spreadsheet user.

        Nothing compares to excel. There are spreadsheets, and there is excel. The world runs on excel, and for a damn good reason. Also, excel runs the world, literally.

          So you’re telling me that Excel is very good at stuff?
