Here's a simple one.<br><br>In Excel 2007 I can go through a list of items and highlight them with different background cell colors to represent different categories.<br><br>Then I can use the filter feature to display only rows of specific background cell colors. Or I can sort them by background cell color.<br>
<br>I'm pretty sure neither of those can be done in OO.<br><br>fyi, I actually use that feature fairly often. I do so by creating a spreadsheet with thousands of rows, sending it to a client and have them categorize the data by highlighting them appropriate colors. Then when I get the spreadsheet back I sort them by color and break apart the data into different tabs.<br>
<br>Obviously there are other ways to do this, but that is how we do it and is one simple example of a missing feature. I suspect there are hundreds more. You may be surprised how functional Excel is.<br><br>Greg<br><br>

So then load Excel and OOCalc on the same machine, load the document<br>
in both, and put her at the keyboard. Tell her to do the thing in<br>
Excel that doesn't work in OO. Come on people, this is troubleshooting<br>
101.<br>
