Its not a bit much to ask for some one who is voluntarily providing a useful free tool to others out of sheer goodwill. If they don't want to use it they don't need to download anything.
Your comment could have been left as a simple request with you saying you know the program is capable of it. The "its a bit much to ask" just puts me off. He put his effort out there for people to use. It is up to them if they want to put in the effort to use it.
I apologize if this seems hostile that isn't my intent. I have tried to reword it without success at erasing a tone I don't mean it to have.
Sanctaphrax:
It would be a bit much to ask. But Tsunami isn't really asking it. It's not like he's saying we have to use this.
As for myself, I encountered some trouble downloading Open Office and gave up.

Asking people to install a special piece of software is a bit much. Blame MS for not supporting the format.

I'm not asking anyone to do anything *g* I just provided what i have, and what i know works. If someone doesn't want to install OO, that's their prerogative.
Sure i can save this as an XLS... but i can't guarantee that it'll actually work in MS Office then. Because MS sucks when it comes to compatibility. Especially Macros... and there are some in the File.
And i like supporting Free Software, and free file formats...
But if someone really needs an XLS version to try and run in MS, let me know and I'll put one up. I won't be bugfixing it if it doesn't work though.
chelatek, you don't count for needing an XLS... you have OO ;D
@Polka: Whoa, easy tiger! :) I'm really more amused than offended *g*
@Sancta: You should be using LibreOffice now at any rate ;) OO is about to go the way of the Dinosaurs... probably.
Edit: Decided to put one up. If it works, fine. If not... tough luck ;) XLS Version - No support
The Mighty Buzzard:
Honestly, it should be fairly easy to implement as a webpage too. Witness me completely failing to volunteer to do so at this time though. I'm still busy slacking over finishing a script to output npc entries formatted for the wiki.
JediDresden:
OO seems to work just fine for me. However I think something might be wrong with the Focus Item calculator. I tried putting in a focus item that gives me a offensive control and a defensive control bonus on the backend sheet. When I was looking at the background sheet it read '+1 off. control, +1 Def Power' instead of 'Def Control'. Other than that it works great.
Thanks for the sheet!
