title: Macro for both excel and openoffice calc
body: <p>I am in need of creating a macro that will launch on both excel and openoffice calc. My first problem is format of a file that I should create (xls vs ods) to be able to open it in both applications.</p>
  
  <p>Another problem is creating a macro, what language I should use to allow launching it using both Excel and OO Calc? </p>
  
  <p>I'm pretty sure VBA macro won't launch on OpenOffice since it's quite complicated case, but I'm afraid StarBasic will not run on Excel.</p>
  
  <p>I am aware of python that should launch on both applications, but my knowledge of python is insufficient (I could use VBA/SB -> python converted if there is any).</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
