Gnumeric

Gnumeric is part of 'GNOME Office' suite, which means it stylistically fits into Ubuntu, but can just as easily be used on its own.

To install Gnumeric in all currently supported versions of Ubuntu open the terminal and type:

sudo apt install gnumeric

For text-only use in a terminal, there's sc (man page).
If the first link is not working, you can try the Ubuntu Packages site.

Also for text terminals, Lotus 1-2-3 for Unix has been ported to Linux.

Star Office is Sun's commercial version of OpenOffice.org (basically OpenOffice.org with different branding and some commercial clipart, fonts, templates & maybe extra language tools added). – JanC Aug 28 '10 at 14:31

For large spreadsheets, Gnumeric is the way to go! Libreoffice is too slow for plotting graphs with large multi-column datasets, but gnumeric handles them far better with high responsiveness.

There's a Chinese clone of MS Office, called WPS Office. It offers both ribbon and toolbar-based user interfaces, which you can switch on the fly. It is not open source, though.

The three basic WPS Office apps

For more details and installation instructions, see this OMG! Ubuntu! article.
