Hello there,

I'm writing an application in which I want to enable the user to do
some complex, custom
calculation within a Calc or MS Excel document. The user should create
a "template"
Calc-Sheet which is later to be filled from my application.
What possibilities does Calc offer to use "variables" or "fields" in
the document?
How would you go about solving this problem? Probably you have a whole
different approach.
It should be, of course, as easy for the user as possible while
preserving large flexibility.

Is there probably a way that's (more or less) "compatible" with doing
the same in MS Excel?
This is not a requirement, because I don't have problems with telling
my users to install
a solid, free application to do those custom calculations -- there is,
however, a huge
base of Excel-semi-gurus and virtually ever company has at least one of those.
On the other hand, our company tries to push OpenOffice.org as much as
possible for it's
customers, so maybe disbanding MS Excel for this "advanced" feature
isn't that bad after all.

I'm looking forward to see how well does Calc in this regard.

Greetings,
  Daniel Albuschat
