Can I take your version of excell and transfer data to an excell spreadsheet?
I understand that your version of excell is calc?
If you mean open an Excel spreadsheet and enter more data to it and save
it again in Excel format, yes, you can do that with OpenOffice.org Calc.
If you do, you will probably get an informational message when you save,
warning you that saving in formats other than the native Open Document
Format (ODF) may result in some formatting losses or changes. This is
true but, in general, should not affect basic Excel spreadsheets, so you
should answer "No" to the prompt to save in ODF.
Hope this helps,

This brings up a question I've had. If you open an Excel spreadsheet
that has macros or other functions Calc can't handle, edit it then save
it as an Excel (or Quattro, etc.) file, will the macros and other
functions OOo can't handle remain intact, or do they get stripped out
when brought into Calc? This would greatly help compatibility with
others who use Excel, Quattro, etc.
