<description><![CDATA[@38:
My mistake? In the formula, "year" is a numeric variable (2012 for instance) stored in a range named "year". It is not the function YEAR(). You didn't notice it, but "year" is lower case instead of upper case, and not followed by a value between parenthesis. For other language than English, you'll have to translate ROUND, DAY and MINUTE, and replace the ";" with a comma or else depending on your configuration.

@42:
The problem is not the format, its the formulas. Errors should not arise in formulas because the software cannot deal with them. In that case, the software should not pretend to be Excel compatible, or give a list of unknown functions like OOo does. That's what I meant.

Regarding file format, I doubt MS will let incompatibilities between Excel versions because they know very well (a) Excel is their main software (b) many people have not upgraded to 2000, 2003, 2007 or 2010. Compatibility is always descendant. This is why they offer for free the MSO compatibility pack for ascendance, so that I can open an XL 2010 file in my XL 2000. Publisher is the only product where you can't open a file saved in a previous version.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[@38 papin - three comments :-
1) Many MS spradsheets &amp; etc., Microsoft will not let all companies the rights to use 'their design principle of coding'.
2) At last 30% of 'open file type' (MS proprietiory formating) in 
MS word proc's &amp; spredsheets softwre editions / version are only about 60% compatible with older versions ! The normal instane is with 3 yaer different editions (e.g. 2007 / 2010 editon dates), but can be as little as 12 or 24 months different editions.
3) And from my experience, 90% of the time you have to go back to the old softare and save as a univrsal format, then reload and convert in the new version, even then there are often errors!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Or FREE KingSoft Office Suite and FoxIt PDF Reader:

http://www.foxitsoftware.com/downloads/

"... Foxit Office Suite, Free office productivity suite, consisting of 

-- Foxit Reader,

... and three Kingsoft Office Suite [ 2012 Free v8.1.0.3032 2011 ] applications: 

-- Writer for word processing,

-- Presentation for presentations , and 

-- Spreadsheets for data processing ..."

Apparently there's promotions happening everywhere!

==========

Or FREE http://www.kingsoftstore.co.uk/kingsoft-office-freeware.html

Compare editions:

http://www.kingsoftstore.co.uk/windows/professional-office-difference.html#.T_NTNN8dXjM

==========

http://www.kingsoft.com/ is in Chinese (LOTS to explore and download there!) and shows WPS Office 2012, presumably WPS means [W]ord, [P]resentations, [S]preadsheets -- no one offers Outlook and Access equivalents, eh?

Except Corel with it's Paradox database and free Thunderbird integrated email, $400 http://www.corel.com/corel/product/index.jsp?pid=prod4720109&amp;cid=catalog20038&amp;segid=6600016#tab3

==========

Anyway, explore, but have a backup plan, because I'm so burnt by Kingsoft removing prior editions when we try out new versions -- which is TOTALLY against an INSTALL program's expectations -- that I can't trust them now.]]></description>
