Gnumeric is a free spreadsheet program that is part of the GNOME desktop. It is intended to be a free replacement for proprietary spreadsheet programs such as Microsoft Excel, which it broadly and openly emulates. Gnumeric was created and developed by Miguel de Icaza, but he has since moved on to other projects. Gnumeric is currently maintained by Jody Goldberg.

Gnumeric has the ability to import and export data in several file formats, including Applix, CSV, Data Interchange Format, Microsoft Excel, HTML, LaTeX, Lotus 1-2-3, MultiPlan, GNU Oleo, OpenDocument, OpenOffice.org 1.x, Plan perfect, Quattro Pro, SpreadsheetML, Xspread and Xbase. Its native format is the Gnumeric file format[1], an XML file compressed with gzip.

Other popular spreadsheet programs are limited to 256 columns and 65,536 rows, but Gnumeric can be compiled from source code that allow users to change these limits (as RAM permits).

Gnumeric includes all the spreadsheet functions of the North American version of Microsoft Excel and many more functions unique to Gnumeric. Pivot tables are not yet supported but are planned for future versions.

Gnumeric's accuracy has helped it to establish a niche among people using it for statistical analysis and other scientific tasks. For improving the accuracy of Gnumeric the developers are cooperating with the R Project.
