Re: And why not fixing the bugs first?

What kind of concern/criticism? Let me quote: "The spreadsheet is a joke" does not tell the developers anything.

Not everyone has a crystal ball. At least, I don't.

Spreadsheet
by Juergen on Wednesday 07/Jun/2006, @17:25
Even OOo Calc lacks some important features in the graphical representation of numbers. The scaling of x/y isn't up to snuff. Then the embedded programming language isn't really usable either for serious work. I use OOo Writer and sometimes KOffice (rarely) but Excel unfortunatelty is still way ahead and the only winDOS program of use (but big one).

    OOCalc is a very good spreadsheet as I find it much more stable than MS Excel when working on the same large data sets. I tried to open up the same ODS sheets in KSpread but it crashed (perhaps 25 columns of 10,000-12,500 data points is too much?) but I do have a few things that OOCalc should have:

    1. The ability to put the equation of the best-fit line ON the graph.
    2. The ability to plot multiple data sets on an XY graph and have them be independent data sets as in MS Excel.
    3. To not have to completely recalculate the graph if I move it on a page but do not resize.
    4. To be able to scale the X-axis in a regular line graph instead of putting a marker for each X value down there.

The spreadsheet _is_ a joke (or at least was last time I checked).

gnumeric is the only good spreadsheet I've found for any platform.

Constructivly:

The charting-functionality seems to be pretty bad. When I use spreadsheets what I mostly do is dump in some numbers from somewhere, then graph them. With gnumeric it's a breeze .. with kSpread .. I don't find the graph in the image that is generated!
