When you think of sophisticated statistical functions like regression, 
analysis of variance, t-test ... I didn't find them in OO as well. Perhaps 
they will be included as add-ins later, but I didn't see any clue at the 
openoffice.org site.
As far as I remember, even in Excel (which BTW is one of the rare excellent 
programs coming from M$) these goodies aren't built in, but add-ins as well.

Apart from these statistical functions, I have imported quite weird Excel 
sheets to OO without problems.
