Has anybody have any (bad) experience with opening Excel spreadsheets in Calc? I'm often working with very large Excel spreadsheets containing lots of formulas and macros. Office 2007 opens these almost instantaneously. LibreOffice takes a very long time and I even have seen it choke on one. I think there's some major rework / rethink needed for Calc because as it stands I'm too embarrased to show it at work. Basically for anything slightly complicated it's not fit for purpose IMHO.
Well, it's not that bad. But depends what your reference is. Very large Excel spreadsheets containing lots of formulas and macros are indeed slow.
Is anything done to address this?
Indeed! Kohei Yoshida must have paid attention to this while speaking at FOSDEM, past weekend.
See http://www.fosdem.org/2011/schedule/event/calccore However, it is not something as a 'quick fix', obviously. Hope this gives some confidence for the future ;-) Regards, Cor -- - giving openoffice.org its foundation :: The Document Foundation - -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
