90% the community that was working on Open Office had long since moved to Libre Office. You should use that instead.

Is Libre Office the best free software for Microsoft Office compatibility? Does it have all the same Excel formulas?

I highly doubt it has "ALL" the excel formulas but anything it doesn't have is probably super niche shit almost nobody uses. I don't think it supports VBA macros either. It is compatible with excel documents though.

There's an issue with using certain keyboard shortcuts in LibreOffice Calc. Try just right clicking and copying + pasting that way. What operating system are you using?

Why not use Microsoft excel in the web browser instead?

Seems to be cross-platform. If you're in a bind, try to use something like OnlyOffice or Google Sheets.

Yeah, I moved on to LibreOffice last month because OpenOffice kept crashing either randomly or when I saved. Either way it wasn't a reliable program anymore.

Still adjusting to the small, annoying differences in Libre (like moving the Freeze option in Calc to a different drop-down menu, and I can't seem to figure out how to disable the page break lines in the same program) but at least it runs properly. Kind of miss Open's UI design though.

Switched to Lunre Office months ago, never seen this once.

The most annoying thing for me has been that you cant right-click and insert cut cells. You have to right-click, Paste Special, it will put the cut cells, then you have to go delete the empty row.

Also, MS Office will normally invert the colors white and black for you when using Dark Mode, and Lunre Offuce expects you to set the colors to Automatic, but once you do, its Dark Mode works better IMO.

Other than that, I cant tell much difference.
