Open Calc - Display problem Err508

Question

Hello, I have an Excel file provided by an administration that contains about twenty sheets, some of which are hidden with links and a lot of formulas. This file works very well with Excel, but when I try to open it in Open Office with Open Calc, some areas do not display correctly with the message ERR 508. Upon checking, it seems that there is no syntax problem... Has anyone encountered this case before? Thanks in advance

I think Excel is better for opening this document instead of Open Office. So install Excel on the PC.

Without seeing anything from the formula and without even indicating the version of OpenOffice.org, it is difficult to respond. Error 508 is due to a missing parenthesis. -- Why hack MS-Office when there is a free solution? Use OpenOffice.org

Hello it wouldn't be about charts or pivot tables in short, this kind of thing where OOo-Excel compatibility reaches its limits --  (_Usul of Arrakis     Serial_Dreamer_)
