Welcome to Gnumeric!
The Gnumeric spreadsheet is part of the GNOME desktop environment: a project to create a free, user friendly desktop environment.
The goal of Gnumeric is to be the best possible spreadsheet. We are not attempting to clone existing applications. However, Gnumeric can read files saved with other spreadsheets and we offer a customizable feel that attempts to minimize the costs of transition.
Gnumeric is...
- Free!
- Gnumeric and its source code are available free of charge, licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License. This makes it easy to audit, and make custom extensions.
- Fast!
- Gnumeric handles large spreadsheets while remaining responsive.
- Accurate!
- A spreadsheet should calculate the right answer. Gnumeric's built-in functions and tools are accurate. A report praised Gnumeric as more accurate than leading proprietary spreadsheets.

Migration
Gnumeric will import your existing Microsoft Excel files. Import filters also exist for Lotus 1-2-3, Applix, Sylk, XBase, Open Office, Quattro Pro, Dif, Plan Perfect, and Oleo files, but these import filters are less complete. If you have knowledge of these file formats or have access to the underlying program, maybe you can help.
