This is something that keeps me to stay with Excel. Also, I heavily use the VBA 
to automate many things on the Excel.

Btw, does anyone know a good resource to go to if I was going to learn about VBA 
equivalent in OO?

I have to admit that if I had to use a spreadsheet for work, I'd stick with 
Excel. I found OOo calc to be a bit cumbersome and lacking in plugins such as 
ASAP and Microcharts, which are very useful in my line of work. Fortunately I 
don't do any more ground method data preprocessing.
