I see the thread you are objecting to. I agree the tirade about OOXML (to which a few others of the Forum team added their voices) is not useful with regard to the discussion that started in 2012 and continued there into the end of last year.
Your concern about the attitudes expressed there and the assertions of various facts that one might wonder about the veracity of is noted, and I am answering your message with my Apache hat on. Meanwhile, did you get your question answered? If not, I suggest that you create a free OneDrive account and see if you can accomplish what you want by uploading an .ods, then opening it there via the Microsoft Office Excel web application. You should be able to download the resulting .xslx file too, if it satisfies your needs. If you are starting from a .xslx, all the better. Upload that. Microsoft should provide as much fidelity in the Web application as you are likely to get anywhere, aye? That avenue is all free and works in most modern browsers. It also works from some devices, but there may be more limitations. You might need to be on Windows to get the download as XSLX to work for you. You can always make the document semi-public and send a link to the persons you want to have it. They can download it themselves and even co-edit it with you, if you allow that.

Hi Guys, I have used OO stuff for a while and hope I have put enough back to payback the use. Today, I have the unfortunate task of having to create xslx files for an application that only reads those. So i did a search to see if there was any way to get Calc to write out that format (or a plugin to enable that).
