OpenOffice.org Calc como alternativa Linux a Microsoft Office Excel
Actualizado el
Nuestra opinión
OpenOffice.org Calc is a solid, free alternative for most everyday spreadsheet tasks. It handles formulas, charts, pivot tables and basic macros well, making it suitable for students, small businesses, and power users who do not rely on advanced Excel‑only features or deep VBA integration. If you need tight compatibility with complex Excel workbooks or extensive add‑ins, you may run into limitations, but for standard data analysis and reporting Calc works fine on Linux.

Calc opens both .xls and .xlsx files reasonably well and can export to those formats. Simple workbooks usually retain formulas and formatting, but complex features such as advanced charts, conditional formatting rules, or VBA macros may be lost or altered during import/export. Testing with critical files is recommended before a full migration.

Preguntas frecuentes
Can Calc run Excel VBA macros?
No. Calc uses OpenOffice Basic, so VBA macros must be rewritten or replaced.
Is real‑time collaboration possible with Calc?
Calc lacks built‑in real‑time co‑authoring; you need to use external tools like Nextcloud or share files manually.
Will large Excel files load slowly in Calc?
Calc can handle typical spreadsheets, but very large files (tens of thousands of rows) may experience slower performance compared to Excel.
