it's more about cross compatibility for me and there are many things I think. It lacks many of the advanced features that Excel has. But still, even if it did have it, I have to collaborate and I just can't take chances of in compatibility (one of the reasons I am edit:not even going to use OnlyOffice which has greater compatibility. )
LibreOffice Calc is great but in the spreadsheet world, Excel is still the gold standard. One of the reasons I'm still paying for a Office 365 subscription. That and a handful of custom integrations I have with Exchange that I don't currently have time to find alternatives for.
Can excel do regex in search and replace yet? Because libreoffice calc can.
I Love FOSS but trust me, you can't compare MS Excel to Libre Calc, it's far far ahead. Even the web version which is worse than the actual Excel version is better than Libre Calc. Libre Calc can't hold a candle to Microsoft Sheets when it comes to features.
Good to know, but does it have the feature I need? Because the last time someone tried to find it, they couldn't. That was after i told them "sure, just go to search and replace and look for the regex option which surely is there."
I see. That does seem troubling. I have a login with access to excel. If you'd like I can dm you he login info.
