NeoCalc
From NeoWiki
NeoCalc is the spreadsheet component of NeoOffice. Calc documents can contain multiple sheets of data. A vast array of mathmatical, financial, statisticual and logical functions can be combined for simple to complex calculations. Calc provides basis "flat" database capabilities, "what if" calculations, and updatable charts based on a range of data.
The wiki includes a NeoOffice Feature Comparison with Microsoft Word and OpenOffice.org and a list of supported file formats for Calc and the other components of NeoOffice.
