That should not be a 'spreadsheet' issue... You have to enter the correct
calculations. I have been teaching Office for some time, and have used
ApplixWare on my own comp, and the calc should be something (it was a wile
ago :)
date=A+B (asuming that in the A col you have when you left, and in the B col
you have when you get back)

Ohh... If you absolutly need DFSG freeness, I think you're out of luck.. I've
tried about every free Office suit, and they just don't cut it...
I can recomend ApplixWare. It's comersial, but it's not as big (big as in
'big foot print') as StarOffice. It is also faster.

As you can see above, I'm a big faan of AW... :)
If the only thing you want to do, is keep a tab on your time spent on a
project (or whatever), there's 'worklog'.
>From the manual:
NAME
worklog - a program for keeping track of time spent on
different projects
SYNOPSIS
worklog [<project config file> [<log file>]]
DESCRIPTION
worklog is a program that helps you keep track of your
time. worklog is a simple ncurses based based program
that runs a clock and logs time to a logfile. When work-
log is invoked, it reads the project configuration file,
and periodically appends to the log file throughout the
extent of its run. Individual logfiles are also kept on a
per-project basis. The key of each project is used to
construct a separate log file made unique by appending .X
to the name of the main log file where X is the key char-
acter.
