"Persons who desire to use a spreadsheet package to perform
statistical analyses are advised to use Gnumeric rather than Excel."
says a report. Here is the report:

The open source spreadsheet package "Gnumeric" was such a good clone
of Microsoft Excel that it even had errors in its statistical
functions similar to those in Excel's statistical functions. When
apprised of the errors in v1.0.4, the developers of Gnumeric indicated
that they would try to fix the errors. Indeed, Gnumeric v1.1.2, has
largely fixed its flaws, while Microsoft has not fixed its errors
through many successive versions. Persons who desire to use a
spreadsheet package to perform statistical analyses are advised to use
Gnumeric rather than Excel.
