Gnumeric's interface is definitely no-frills, but it will be easy to figure out for users who've had previous experience with any other spreadsheet software. In fact, transitioning to Gnumeric from another program is easy, given the program's ability to handle file formats associated with Excel, Lotus 1-2-3, Open Office, and others. We opened an Excel file with some fairly complex formatting in Gnumeric and it looked and functioned as it always had in Excel. On the whole we found Gnumeric quite easy to use, with one particularly irritating exception: menus, dialogue boxes, and the Help file always opened underneath the main interface. At first we thought that the program had frozen, but after a bit of minimizing we realized what was going on. We searched in vain for a solution to this problem, hoping that there was an \"Always on Top\" setting somewhere that we needed to adjust, but we found nothing. This was surprising, given the program's quite detailed and well-written Help file. Overall, we thought that Gnumeric was a very nice alternative to popular spreadsheet applications, but the strange positioning of its windows left us scratching our heads.

Gnumeric has the ability to import and export data in several file formats, including CSV, Microsoft Excel (write support for the more recent .xlsx format is incomplete[6]), Microsoft Works spreadsheets (.wks),[7] HTML, LaTeX, Lotus 1-2-3, OpenDocument and Quattro Pro; its native format is the Gnumeric file format (.gnm or .gnumeric), an XML file compressed with gzip.[8] It includes all of the spreadsheet functions of the North American edition of Microsoft Excel and many functions unique to Gnumeric.[9] Pivot tables and Visual Basic for Applications macros are not yet supported.[10]
gnumeric is able to run on most Unix platforms and provides a graphical user interface similar to the spreadsheet application Microsoft Office. Gnumeric has been created as a replacement for Excel, when it comes to handling large volumes of data. Gnumeric offers the ability to manipulate rectangular or column-based charts. It also offers a variety of other functions such as creating drop down lists, making calculations with percentages, sorting data, printing pie charts, and creating sub-grids. gnumeric works better with Python and Java.
For the current behavior you can also use the arrow keys to navigate to the other windows vice the mouse.
or
Hit the Super key and select the window you want to go to.
or
Hit Alt + Esc and it will directly switch windows.
alt/super + tab: cycle all applications, then when on an application, use alt/super + ` to cycle between windows of the currently highlighted application. alt/super + esc cycles between windows that are on the current workspace.
GNOME 45 provides a focused working environment that helps you get things done. It is packed with features that will make you more productive: a powerful search feature that helps you access all your work from one place; side-by-side windows that make it easy to view several documents at the same time; seamless integration with online accounts which allows you to access all your data in one place; and a messaging system that comfortably deals with notifications, letting you quickly respond in place or return to them in a convenient time.
That's not how it works. Drivers and software sometimes require certain versions of a DLL file included in the DX package to function correctly. Some newer DX versions completely omit dll files deemed obsolete, or replace them with more compact versions lacking the same features - in some cases even 3d acceleration. For example - take older versions of 3dsmax - some require dx 8 and 9 files to render in direct3d. If ran on windows 8.1, viewport performance will be abysmal. After installing directX 9 redist and directX 2010, my viewports went from 20 fps to 150 - this on an RX 470. Did I mention the crash to desktop of freezing?
I know you're asking specifically about ssconvert, but in my case I gave up trying to install gnumeric without the Gnome dependencies. Instead, I'm using xls2csv (which is part of the catdoc package) with the same results.
Gnumeric supports advanced calculations using statistical, financial and database access functions. Plotting data is supported through an incomplete but powerful plotting system. A plugin system extends gnumeric , for instance enabling the export of data to the LaTeX \longtable format. Plugins can be used to define custom functionality. A rudimentary scripting API for the Python language exists and will be extended in the near future. Since gnumeric is free software, gnumeric can also be extended directly at the source code level by any competent programmer.
The program can be started from the command line as gnumeric or from one of the menus provided by the underlying platform. When started on the command line, gnumeric may be followed by the options listed below and possibly the names of files in various spreadsheet formats which will then be opened immediately. For instance, the command:
will launch gnumeric and open the file called "myfile.gnumeric". The default gnumeric file format is in extensible markup language (XML) which subsequently has been compressed with gzip.
Set the size and position of the first window. All units are in pixels. The X offset is from the left hand side of the screen, the Y offset is from the top of the screen. For example, -g=800x600+20+30 will open a gnumeric window 800 pixels wide by 600 pixels high, with the left edge of gnumeric 20 pixels from the left of the screen and the top edge of gnumeric 30 pixels from the top of the screen.
Try Gnumeric. It supports exporting graphs to SVG natively. There's a windows version, too. So, the toolchain would be Excel -> Gnumeric -> SVG, or even Gnumeric -> SVG without using Excel. IMHO it's the easiest way to get your graph in SVG.
This is the command gnumeric that can be run in the OnWorks free hosting provider using one of our multiple free online workstations such as Ubuntu Online, Fedora Online, Windows online emulator or MAC OS online emulator
Seeing the mention of gnumeric earlier in this topic, there is ssconvert which is part of gnumeric. Ssconvert converts between spread-sheet formats, I use it in a script to extract a column of data from an .xls spread-sheet.
