Thanks for your reply and sorry for havent answered yet. I’ve got a customer in the insurance market. All insurance / tariff calculations are developed in excel; the calculations use simple calculations and lookups. For providing the calculations in a web frontend, we have to rebuild / reengineer them (currently in php), which is time consuming, error prone and boring. And because the logic of a plain calculation procedure in php/python/java is quite different from cell-processing, even slight modifications in the sheet are horrible to adapt and test.
It would be much better if we can take these sheets as is and deploy them in a web famework. Moving the customer from excel to libreoffice won't be a show stopper, so using libreoffice instead of excel would be fine.
