Open Excel Spreadsheet

Project Lead:Developer mailing list.

  • Since the Excel Viewer makes it easy for you to open, print and copy Excel files for free, we figured you might also want to know about a few (free) alternatives to the Excel Viewer. So, below you’ll find 3 free alternatives that enable you to open Excel files for free. Google Sheets: Google’s take on spreadsheets. With Google Sheets, you.
  • Open, edit, and save Microsoft Excel files with the Chrome extension or app. Convert Excel files to Google Sheets and vice versa. Don't worry about file formats again.
  • Open as read-only. Excel workbooks (.xlsx) Yes. Excel workbooks (.xls) No. Excel templates (.xltx) No.
  • Select the minimize button in the top-right corner of the Excel spreadsheet. In the task tray, right-click Excel, and then select your spreadsheet. (Or double click the Excel icon.) Check for hidden sheets. Select the minimize button in the top-right corner of the Excel spreadsheet. In the task tray, right-click Excel, and then select your.

Open a new blank spreadsheet; copy your text data and paste it to any blank cell; move the cursor to another cell and make a left mouse click. You will see the text data is automatically populated into the spreadsheet. You can save it as an xls or xlsx file.

Develop Extensions

In addition to general extensiondevelopment, Calc supports the use of Add-Incomponents to extend the set of functions that can be used in cellformulas. Add-Ins can easily be created using the Add-InWizard of the NetBeansintegration. Besides that, some articles are available:

  • Simple Calc Add-in in the Wiki

  • CompleteAddIn in the Wiki

  • An older article “How to add-in”

Open Excel Spreadsheet

Development Documentation

  • The OpenOffice.org wiki has a category 'Calc'.

  • Specifications for some spreadsheet features

  • Excel file format documentation (in progress), available as odt or pdf, and Compound Document file format documentation, also as odt or pdf

  • See also the “Documents & files” link to the left of this page.

Free Software To Open Excel

Currently, the major topics of Calc development are:

Open Excel Spreadsheet Vba

  • Performance

    Current Calc activities within the performance project are listed on the performance wiki page.

  • Excel 2007 import filter

    The import filter for Excel 2007 files is continually improved. For details about the filter implementation, see its wiki page.

  • ODF formula specification

    Within the OASIS OpenDocument Formula Subcommittee, a specification for spreadsheet formulas is being created. Necessary changes are being implemented.

  • Integration of R into Calc

    A Summer of Code project has integrated the R environment with Calc, see the page in the wiki. The Summer of Code project is completed, but the integration will continue to be improved.

  • Usability improvements

    There's a separate wiki page about our usability activities.

  • Solver

    Calc has a built-in dialog to control different solver components, and a linear solver component included in the installation set. A non-linear component is available as a preliminary version.

To-Do List

These are some areas where help would be useful. Well thought-outpatches are welcome, but please file your Joint Copyright Assignment(JCA) first, see Howto submit code to OpenOffice.org.

Possible extensions

  • Statistical data analysis tools (ANOVA etc.), see issue 4921.

    Leonard Mada has posted some code for ANOVA to the sc-dev mailing list.

  • Component to check spreadsheet documents for potential errors

    Write an extension that checks a spreadsheet document for potential errors in formulas, presents a list of the findings to the user, and allows to correct them. Note that the conversion of text to numbers is already handled by the CT2N extension.

Other features

  • A Watch Window to watch certain cells

    A Watch Window is a separate, small window that remains 'on top' and enables users to monitor a selected set of cells, see issue 28386. This could possibly also be done as an extension.

  • CSV import enhancements

    Most of the changes that were originally planned for the import of csv (text) files have already been done. Some open points are issues 60110, 37668, 19369, 24076 and 3687.

  • Add new spreadsheet functions and parameters according to ODFF

    The OpenDocument Format Formula specification (ODFF aka OpenFormula) defines several new spreadsheet functions and new optional parameters to already existing functions that have to be implemented.
