Gnumeric is a Free Spreadsheet program that is part of the GNOME desktop. It is intended to be a free replacement for Proprietary spreadsheet programs such as Microsoft Excel , which it broadly and openly emulates. Gnumeric was created and developed by Miguel De Icaza , but he has since moved on to other projects. Gnumeric is currently maintained by Jody Goldberg {Link without Title} .

Gnumeric has the ability to import and export data in several file formats, including Excel, Open Office , XML , HTML , Applix , Quattro Pro , PlanPerfect , Sylk , DIF ( Data Interchange Format ), Oleo , SC , StarOffice , and Lotus 1-2-3 . Its native format is XML, compressed with Gzip .

Other popular spreadsheet programs are limited to 256 columns and 65,536 rows, but Gnumeric can be Compiled from source code that allow users to change these limits (as RAM permits).

Gnumeric includes all the spreadsheet functions of the North American version of Microsoft Excel and many more functions unique to Gnumeric. Pivot Table s are not yet supported but are planned for future versions.

The Gnumeric developers pride themselves on the accuracy of their software; Gnumeric has established a niche among people using it for Statistical Analysis and other Scientific tasks. For improving the accuracy of Gnumeric the developers are cooperating with the R Project .
