Calc was not a great alternative to Desktop Excel but maybe it's better now, my opinion is 8 major version behind. But I remember that in v17 the array functions were a pale imitation of what's possible in Excel.

I also find that there is something wrong with the rendering that made the suite looks dated but again maybe it's better in v25...

I prefer the document model of writer to the word document model but it requires a more cartesian mindset. But then most people don't learn how to effectively use their word processor so maybe Words still have an edge with non technical user.

I asked a few questions to Bing and to my surprise it appears to know Calc as much as it know Excel.

Good luck to the Danish Ministry of Digitalization, we need used alternatives to the Office monopoly.
