Calc is a spreadsheet application of the Nebula Office suite that comes with several features. It supports about 1 million rows in the spreadsheet component. Calc allows the user to effectively calculate, examine, and manage data, especially numerical to produce specific results.
Compatibility of Calc
Considering the compatibility of Calc to that of other spreadsheet applications, Calc in Nebula Office is a bit advanced. It offers improved compatibility and experience. Wildcards like an asterisk (*), tilde (~), and question mark (?), that are far-flung in other spreadsheets are accredited by Nebula Office. By adopting this option, Nebula Office calc makes the procedure easy even if you are not very conversant with using the regular expressions.
Nebula Office Calc uses its own formula syntax by default. While the syntax used in Microsoft Excel is Excel R1, Nebula Office Calc uses Calc R1. Nebula Office can smoothly translate between the two. If you are comfortable and familiar with Excel, you are allowed to alter the default syntax in Calc. To perform this, go to Tools, then Options, and Nebula Office Calc. Click Formula and then Formula Syntax. Choose Excel R1 from the menu that comes up.
However, when it comes to Macros compatibility is not entirely possible. This is because Nebula Office applies basic code which is based on Nebula Office. On the other hand, Microsoft word employ VBA or Visual Basic for Applications Code.
Though the programming languages are alike, the objects and methods are dissimilar or different. However, if the user enables Excel Visual Basic script, Nebula Office can run some. To do this, go to Tools, then Options, and select Load or Save and VBA properties.
