Hi everyone...........

At the moment my laptop does not have excel or any sort of spreadsheet and i really need it for Uni......

Does anyone know where it can be bought from cheap or even if its available to be downloaded.........

Many thanks in advance for all your help.

Do you need compatability with Excel?

http://www.openoffice.org/ is an alternative to M$ Office. Not sure if you can work between Excel and openoffice though....

try openoffice.org?

Excel is part of office so you will need to get the whole thing..

I downloaded openoffice last night, but i think it need excel to work as it just wouldn't open up, so i deleated it as it was doing nothing.

I have checked on ebay and the prices go up to £40, i can not afford this on my budget.

Just wondering if any other sites do it cheaper........

Openoffice should be able to open and save excel spreadsheets fine. You don't need Excel (or any part of MS Office) for it to work.

It's free, the best you're going to get without paying for MS Office.

You probably need to check how you installed it, there may be a problem there. Just "deleting" things that don't work is never a good idea, they need to be uninstalled properly...

If you only need to read or print excel documents, you can download a free excel viewer from MS. Link HERE .

It will only let you read the document, not edit it.

I'm using openoffice (calc) for the 1st time. It does know the extention .xls so its 100% compatible with M$ oofice excel.

If you're a genuine student, M$ will sell you a "student's" version of office for under half-price (have a look here). Your uni may have even a deal to get a cheaper version...

It's not 100% compatible with Excel, there a facets of Excel which cause OO to fall off it's feet.

OP you have two options if you want MS Excel they are:

1. Student License

or

2. Secondhand Original Copy with license "Be sure to ask for this, it's worthless without it"
