Google Spreadsheet and LibreOffice calc compatibility

I am working on a Google spreadsheet for a group and wondered if anyone knew as to how compatible were the two formats.

So far it has been good but I was hoping to try to develop a spreadsheet file for the group a little more extensively and wondered if it would be better to just work from the Google spreadsheet and then download the results to my copy of LibreOffice Calc or could I just as well work from Calc and upload the new versions of the file back up to Google Drive-Spreadsheet.

I would prefer to work from Calc.

Thanks for any information.

Hi.
I went through this a while ago. Google spread sheets has limited functionality compared to calc. I started with a google sheet, had to then bring it into calc to get all the functionality I needed. From calc I can put the newer more complex sheet into google docs WITHOUT CONVERSION so that it can be shared.

Thanks, I am finding the same. It looks like I will have to do as you suggest, as this group works by GDrive.

Cheers,
