* More-familiar default key bindings.<ref name="McAllister16Feb11">{{Cite web|url=http://www.infoworld.com/print/151716/|title=Open office dilemma: OpenOffice.org vs. LibreOffice|last=McAllister|first=Neil|date=16 February 2011|work=[[InfoWorld]]|access-date=8 September 2011|archive-url=https://archive.today/20131001035953/http://www.infoworld.com/print/151716|archive-date=1 October 2013|url-status=live}}</ref>
* Toolbar icon for toggling sheet grids in Calc similar to Excel.<ref name="LOFF331" />
* Improved Excel interoperability.<ref name="LOFF331" />
* Documents drawn with the UNO api can be inserted in calc.<ref name="LOFF331" />
* New options for CSV (Comma-Separated Value) importation in Calc, allowing the import of custom delimited files common in engineering scenarios.
* Support for 3 different formula syntaxes: Calc A1, Excel A1 and Excel R1C1.<ref name="LOFF331" />

* Re-work of the drawing layer, to improve precision on re-positioning and re-sizing of drawing objects.<ref name="34FF" />
* Support for unlimited number of fields: Previously DataPilot only supported up to 8 column/row/data fields and up to 10 page fields. 3.4 has lifted this restriction to allow unlimited number of fields in each field type.<ref name="34FF" />
* Previously, Calc only supported named ranges in global scope, that is, all named ranges were made available for the entire document regardless of the current sheet. In 3.4 Calc now supports named ranges that are local to a sheet. The named range dialog (Insert->Names->Define) has been modified to reflect this change.<ref name="34FF" />
* Now preserves OLE links to other Excel documents when importing an Excel document. OLE links get converted to external references upon import. *Previously, Calc ignored OLE links and cells containing OLE links resulted in error upon import.<ref name="34FF" />
* Multiple subtotals on a single sheet: It is now possible to define more than one subtotal range in a single sheet via Data->Subtotals. Previously, setting a second subtotal range removed the first one if they were on the same sheet.<ref name="34FF" />
