Free program for making spreadsheets?

[BigFatCow]

Anyone know any? I would like it to be transferable to excel, if possible.


im downloading openoffice right now, but i couldnt find on the site if it supports excel spreadsheets.

CALC

It's the spreadsheet program you've always wanted. Newcomers find it intuitive and easy to learn; professional data miners and number crunchers will appreciate the comprehensive range of advanced functions.

* You're also free to pull in data from corporate databases, and cross-tabulate, summarise, and manipulate with advanced DataPilot technology.
* Natural language formulas let you create formulas using words (e.g. "sales - costs").
* You can be your own spreadsheet expert thanks to templates with built-in functions, allowing you to concentrate on your real work.
* Scenario Manager allows "what if..." analysis at the touch of a button.
* Charting tools to visualise data in 2D or 3D.

It does, although I can't say if it supports absolutely everything. It's your best bet.

OpenOffice supports Excel spreadsheets. You'll be able to open and save as xls. Some of the formatting may look different and Open Office doesn't have as many powerful spreadsheet functions as Excel. If it's just a simple spreadsheet though, it should work fine.
