Re: Are You Using Gnumeric for Work?

[John Leonard <johnl119 yahoo com>]

I use Gnumeric in conjunction with Mysql for some data
processing work on a Linux machine, but find for large
spreadsheets it is too slow and I revert to Excel. The
biggest drawback, however, is not being able to select
and work on filtered data, which is something I do on
a daily basis. I'm afraid for large spreadsheets and
filtering Excel still wins hands down.
