    Because Calc has the UI and functionality of Excel 97…and an awful name to boot lol

    Hate to say it but anyone adept in Excel (or even Sheets, probably) would agree. It gets the job done but there’s major features missing for a lot of what I’d use it for.

        I don’t think my my php knowledge from the 2000s is relevant unfortunately lol

        I’m happy enough with Calc at home. Just can’t imagine trying to do half of what I do at work with it.

        Standard users are people who are not adept at Excel. Calc is fine for basic stuff but I was responding to the question why’d you ever use Excel.

        Calc doesn’t handle named tables so you can’t reference one and you also can’t apply a function to a whole column, nor can you reference row by its column

        These are all incredible features to have for advanced users
