Thanks again for creating your excellent character designer!

I don't own a copy of Excel and instead use OpenOffice 2.4.1 (latest non-beta release) on Vista. In order to get some of the calculations to work in openoffice, I made the changes listed below. If the changes are appropriate to Excel, then I hope you will consider adding them to your version. The list is only what I have discovered for the characters and levels I have designed.

(Modifications to wiesbaden_charsheet_v1_15_Full.xls to work with OpenOffice 2.4.1)
 
$'Transport Attack'.D8 (repeat for all 'basic attack' & 'power' blocks on the same sheet)
old value ==> =D6*C8
new value ==> =VALUE(D6)*VALUE(C8)
 
$'Transport Attack'.C25 (repeat for all 'basic attack' & 'power' blocks on the same sheet)
old value ==> =IF(D17=TRUE();C19*C20+C21;"")
new value ==> =IF(D17=TRUE();VALUE(C19)*VALUE(C20)+VALUE(C21);"")
 
$'Transport Attack'.D25 (repeat for all 'basic attack' & 'power' blocks on the same sheet)
old value ==> =IF(D17=FALSE();IF(AND(D19=0;D20=0;D21=0);D23;D19*D20-D21);"")
new value ==> =IF(D17=FALSE();IF(AND(VALUE(D19)=0;VALUE(D20)=0;VALUE(D21)=0);VALUE(D23);VALUE(D19)*VALUE(D20)-VALUE(D21));"")
 
$'Charsheet I'.CT15
old value ==> =10+SkillInsight
new value ==> =10+VALUE(SkillInsight)
 
$'Charsheet I'.CT21
old value ==> =10+SkillPerception
old value ==> =10+VALUE(SkillPerception)
 
$'Pro Sheet'.BG58
old value ==> =IF(AQ54="";"";IF(.I46="";.I40&"+"&VLOOKUP(.J44;.$8:$14;2;FALSE())&IF(OR(.J42="";.J42=0);"";"+"&.J42);.J46))
new value ==> =IF(AQ54="";"";IF(.I46="";.I40&"+"&VLOOKUP(.I44;.$8:$14;2;FALSE())&IF(OR(.I42="";.I42=0);"";"+"&.I42);.I46))
 
$'Pro Sheet'.AH20
old value ==> =10+SArcana
new value ==> =10+VALUE(SArcana)
 
$'Pro Sheet'.AH23
old value ==> =10+SNature
new value ==> =10+VALUE(SNature)

Again, thanks so much for your hard work. I know you chose Excel 2007 as your target. Anything you can do to accomodate openoffice user's is very appreciated, but I recognize the difficulty of trying to make your spreadsheet work in multiple programs.

I am not an Excel or a Calc guru, so any feedback on the above code is appreciated.
