AFAIK, it's not a full compatibility, especially in terms of macros.
Excel document with macros is likely not to work in OO.

And not running Macros is a bad thing ?

Very bad if the function of your spreadsheet depends on them!

Yes if the business uses macros in their Excl spreadsheets

libreoffice and openoffice will probably break the formatting on excel spreadsheets. I used the open office word poressor and all the page breaks were wrong. 1 word [from ms office] page would appear on 1 & quarter page on openoffice.

Obviously formatting is critical for a lot of long documents.
