KSpread, alternative Linux à Microsoft Office Excel
Mis à jour le
Notre avis
KSpread can serve as a basic spreadsheet tool for Linux users who need simple calculations, charting, and occasional data import/export, but it falls short for power users who rely on advanced features like pivot tables, extensive macro libraries, and tight compatibility with the latest Excel file formats. It is suitable for hobbyists, students, or small‑business users who work mostly with CSV or older XLS files and do not need the full breadth of Excel's data‑analysis capabilities.

KSpread can open and save older .xls files and CSV data without trouble. Support for the newer .xlsx format is limited or absent, so opening complex workbooks may lose formulas, styling, or features like slicers. Exporting to .xlsx is generally not reliable, so converting files through an intermediate format (e.g., CSV or ODS) is often necessary.
Passer de Microsoft Office Excel à KSpread, étape par étape
- Install Calligra Sheets (the successor to KSpread) from your distribution's repository.
- Open existing Excel files; verify that data, formulas, and basic charts appear correctly.
- Save a copy in ODS format to preserve formatting for future edits.
- Re‑create any missing pivot tables or advanced charts manually in Calligra Sheets.
- If you rely on VBA macros, rewrite needed scripts using the Kross framework or another supported language.

Questions fréquentes
Can KSpread run on non‑KDE desktops?
Yes, it runs on any Linux desktop, but it pulls in KDE libraries, so the UI will look KDE‑styled.
Is there any way to use VBA macros in KSpread?
No, KSpread uses the Kross scripting framework; VBA macros must be rewritten in a supported language such as Python or Ruby.
What should I do with large Excel workbooks that have many sheets and complex formulas?
Consider converting them to the ODS format for editing, or keep a Windows or Office‑online instance for those specific files while using KSpread for simpler tasks.
