Well as I said, I've worked in several large UK corporations over some
years, and they just haven't needed to use VBA or Macros. It does depend
on the output from whaterver ERM system you are using - the less
sophisticated the more the user is likley to need Macros and VBA.
It's just my experience that these are few and far between - certainly
not sufficiently frequent to justify the wholesale use of MS Office...

Its shitloads. In Calc, there's shitloads of Exel functions missing and
there's sod all macro support.

I've worked in some of the largest UK corporations as a Systems and
Management Accountant for quite a few years and a) most people never
used either VBA OR macros and b) Calc has scripting.
