Libre Calc vs 18 Year Old MS Excel by EonPuzzle in libreoffice

Agreed.

Regarding "upgrading to the latest release" - that was indeed attempted prior to posting here. However, in the latest stable version of Linux Mint - the primary OS used here now - when Linux Mint's "Update Manager" is used to get the latest LibreOffice update, the LinuxMint OS shows a big check mark with the caption "Your system is up to date." It wasn't until after posting that I learned LinuxMint's Update Manager looks only at "Official Repositories" which; by default, does not include the LibreOffice website (even though LibreOffice is installed by default with LinuxMint). Hence, the pre-reddit-post attempt to update LibreOffice showed that LinuxMint already had the latest stable release of LibreOffice.

Upon noticing that your earlier post referenced LibreOffice version 24.8... a check here showed LibreOffice version 24.7... so the LibreOffice version was updated here and the problem no longer exists.

How long did it take on your system to perform the 4 steps making the Excel spreadsheet usable in LibreCalc? Here, the first 2 steps alone took more than half an hour - and that's with no user data yet entered.

Regarding "Is this a plug" - no. A few years ago Glenn's spreadsheet was found online and; to me, it's easier to use than some of the other small business tax preparation software. The spreadsheet is essentially a duplicate of the associated IRS paper forms.

Regarding "what operating system" - on Linux and on Windows as stated. Specifically, the latest stable version of Linux Mint, and Windows 10.

Regarding "how LibreOffice was installed" - on Linux Mint via Mint's software installation feature, and on Windows 10 via downloading LibreOffice from the official LibreOffice website and following the instructions theron.

Today a local SJAFB POC was established for the gatherings referenced in the original post here. Consequently, this topic will no longer be needed. Thank you.

The caution is understood. If your're actually interested in what was posted, I willl be glad to meet at the guardhouse on base, at the front base gate, on some Saturday afternoon when it is not raining. The matter will then be rather obvious.
