What is LibreOffice Calc?

LibreOffice Calc is the spreadsheet in LibreOffice, a free and open-source office suite from The Document Foundation. It covers formulas, pivot tables, what-if scenarios and charts, and it opens and saves Microsoft Excel files alongside its native OpenDocument format. It runs as a desktop app on Windows, macOS and Linux.

LibreOffice Calc is free to use. See every plan

Good for

  • People who want a full desktop spreadsheet at no cost
  • Anyone who needs the same spreadsheet app on Windows, macOS and Linux
  • Users who prefer open-source software and the OpenDocument format

Worth knowing

  • There is no hosted cloud version; The Document Foundation says it does not plan a service like those from Google and Microsoft.
  • Shared mode merges each user's edits when they save the file, and some commands are unavailable while a spreadsheet is shared.
  • On Android the foundation offers only a viewer with experimental editing, and it points to Collabora's apps for editing documents on mobile.
  • The Mac App Store version costs $8.99 and the Microsoft Store version also carries a charge; downloads from the website are free.

Key features

Functions and the Function Wizard
Built-in functions, including statistical and banking functions, are combined into formulas for complex calculations, and the Function Wizard helps assemble them step by step.
Pivot tables
A pivot table combines, compares and analyzes large amounts of data. Its fields can be rearranged to view different summaries of the same source data.
Scenarios and what-if tools
Named scenarios hold alternative sets of cell values that can be switched to compare results, and the Multiple Operations command calculates a formula across a range of inputs.
Dynamic charts
Spreadsheet data can be presented in charts that update automatically whenever the underlying data changes.
Excel compatibility
Imports and modifies Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, and filters open and save a variety of other formats in addition to the native OpenDocument format.
Shared spreadsheets
In shared mode several users can open the same spreadsheet file for writing at once. Changes merge when each person saves, with a dialog to settle conflicting edits.
