Excel equivalent for Mac OS/X?

Excel is a spreadsheet, and exists in a Mac version (in fact, the Mac version predates the Windows version). Do you instead mean Microsoft Access?

If so, there's no direct equivalent, but there are a number of Mac databases, including Filemaker Pro (probably the most popular), OpenBase, MySQL, FrontBase and others. Or you can run Windows through Boot Camp or Parallels Workstation and run Access.

Yes, Microsh*t Excel. It was, afterall, originally a Mac program (before it was for Windows)...

If you dont want to use an MS product, OpenOffice is a good alternative.

Hello;

Try Open Office. This Office tools is more than MS Office, and it´s free.

I didn't mention OpenOffice but yes, OpenOffice has a spreadsheet. Though if you don't want to run X11, you might want to try NeoOffice instead.

And as I said, Excel exists for Mac, so if you want to run the "genuine article", you can purchase Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac.

MBP15DD, what's "Mac OS/X"?

OK, so it seems we all know what you meant, but the operating system you're referring to is actually called "Mac OS X", not "Mac OS/X".

Sorry to nitpick. 🙂
