You can use Google Spreadsheets Don't need to install anything and works from any computer with internet

Open Office is nice

I think I just had to update it this week.

Yep OpenOffice is the best alternative that runs on almost any Operating System it is completely free and open source which is great. Very nice, I use it all the time and recommend it.

OpenOffice is good so long as your computer is up to scratch I found. And ofcourse Google Spreadsheets is only for the basic stuff, but nonetheless, very good at it (And available anywhere too).

I recommend both. They're both free and easy to use.

I prefer KOffice, I don't know why. Even though OpenOffice is good, I still prefer KOffice when I use Linux (KDE).

OpenOffice just slows down your computer if you leave it open for too long (like 6+ hours), so while it's an incredible program, just make sure to close it from time to time

Not on a KDE box this week (Yep, I switch about that often ), testing out the new gNome.

Have used KOffice before, but it was a very lite program, and lacked many features compared to OO.

Open Office gets my vote, just make sure you save your file with a .xls at the end; otherwise, anyone with the actual Excel program will not be able to read it. The same is true if you use it as a word processor - save those files as .doc.

If I recall google docs does it too.
