Does Debian have a spreadsheet program that can competently read/write xlsx

I have never had an issue with LibreCalc's xls support. If an xls file
is so complicated that LibreOffice can't read/write it properly, I
suspect you will find it unusable in anything but Microsoft software
since that is their proprietary format.

Thanks,
Andy


If that were the case, shouldn't it have complained on read also?
