Is it running or not? I'm using Excel 2007 and convert all data to a 2003 excel file...
Just tried again from this link: http://www.nzcomputers.net/heroforge/default4e.asp (file labeled as 1.14)
Unfortunately it's still not running. However the error messages changed slightly.
Still first twice the message about too many cell formats and then the third message now says that the file was critically damaged and that excel tried and failed to repair (instead of the third message being about a "circular reference" as before)
Ok this sounds serious. This thing works for Excel 2007. But we also want it to work on older Excel version so we are looking into this issue right now.
We added a lot of features which were requested by fans like power activation changing colors. We are currently deleting options again to see of we can get it to run under Excel Office XP (should be 2003, right?)

No, they're different. Office XP is from 2001 and Office 2003 is a newer version from 2003 and was the last edition before office 2007
Here's what we found out so far: We have over 4000 formats in different cells. Excel XP does not like this!
EDIT: We have separated the main excel file into two smaller files for users of older Excel versions. The excel files are not connected. The XPextras.xls only has items which don't require a dynamic content anyway.
We got reports from Excel 2007 users and it works fine for them. Even from Open Office Users! Yay!

Just want to inform that there is a free official compatibility package released by Mircrosoft itself which enables Office XP and Office 2003 to open and save Office 2007 files.
So maybe you should just release your file in the original Office 2007 version and we people with older Office versions download the compatibility upgrade direclty from Microsoft (it's only 27.5 MB)

It's working fine in open office for me, latest non beta version. Heh, it's even working better than your previous version. I wasn't expecting that! Sweet!
UPDATE: We fixed the issue!
We are programming the Wiesbaden Charsheet for Excel version 2007.
Older versions are limited to the amount of different formats a single
Excel file can have. For these users we seperated the original file in two
smaller Excel files:
wiesbaden_charsheet_v????_XPversion.xls has all dynamic features.
wiesbaden_charsheet_v????_XPextras.xls has all non dynamic features.
Everyone else using Excel 2007 or newer only needs (the full package all in one file):
wiesbaden_charsheet_v????.xls

Does anyone have a character done on this wonderful sheet that I can look at?
I just have to say that the Pro Character sheet is absolutely outstanding! Thank you, thank you.
I am relatively new to D&D and we are about half way through the Keep on Shadowfell with me as the DM. The players have used about eight different character sheets, but we keep coming back to this Wiesbaden sheet because it does everything (and it is a slick learning tool).
The problem we have with all of the character sheets is that there is never enough power slots (with room for stats, modifiers, and effects) on the front page with abilities, defenses, and skills. Most sheets only have spaces for the basic attacks and 3-5 spaces for powers. I can't figure it out. Is this really enough for everybody? With clerics and wizards? We tried the power cards for a while, but they became tedious and fiddly. We've shelved them (after much $ and many hours spent printing and cutting).
Anyway, the pro character sheet solves the problem spectacularly. One sheet in front of each player during battles with all of the powers, stats, and effects. Woo Hoo! No loose cards, no flipping through sheets looking up class powers, and on and on. Thanks again. We are currently switching all the players over to this sheet. Encounters will play so much more smoothly. Give my thanks to Mr. And Mrs. Wiesbaden and all the young 'uns.
