Creating a Link is the accurate way to ensure data accuracy by utilizing automatic updating and recalculation. I know Calc also has a Link feature but my concern is compatibility between Excel's DDE Link and Calc DDE Link, If I migrate from Excel to Calc, the Calc will support Excel's sheets existing Link ? I have tried opening Excel DDE link in Calc but it does not work, So I just want to make sure if I am doing something wrong or if there is any other possible way to make Excel existing DDE Link work with Calc without re-creating a Link again in Calc.

If yes, yes, these links work with OOo and MS Excel. For macros, you'll have to redo it. Excel and OOo "speak a different language", so OOo won't know, what you want to achieve with your Excel macro. But the macro-code that was inserted by Excel won't be deleted by OOo. Hope, this helps you.
