¿Qué es Calligra?
Calligra originated from the KOffice project and has been maintained by the KDE Community for over a decade. It ships with a set of tightly integrated applications—Words, Sheets, Stage and Karbon—each focused on a specific office task. The suite is packaged in most major Linux distributions and receives regular updates, the latest being version 26.04.3.
The suite targets users who need a full‑featured office environment without resorting to Microsoft Office. It works well for students, small businesses and hobbyists who prefer open‑source tools and a desktop that follows the KDE design language. Because the applications share a common file format and UI conventions, the learning curve is modest if you are already familiar with KDE apps.
Compared with Microsoft Excel Mobile, Calligra Sheets feels more like a desktop spreadsheet program than a trimmed‑down mobile app. It offers a richer set of functions, chart types and cell formatting options, though the interface is less touch‑oriented. If you are used to the Windows Office look, expect a more traditional Linux menu layout and keyboard‑centric workflow.
Ideal para: Users who want a free, integrated office suite on Linux with decent spreadsheet capabilities.

Calligra Sheets can open .xlsx and .xls files directly, though complex macros will not run. Familiarize yourself with the KDE shortcut style: Ctrl+Shift+S saves, Ctrl+F finds, and F2 edits cells. Export your existing Excel workbooks to OpenDocument (.ods) for best compatibility, and consider using the built‑in formula help to map Excel functions to Calligra equivalents.
