... because the developers account calculated relative hyperlinks as a 
security risk. As a work-around I showed you how to improve your formula 
so it uses a calculated absolute path in URL notation. Of course, the 
very same method can not work with Excel which does not know regular 
expressions.
You may try some switch to distinguish between Excel and Calc:
MID(ADDRESS(1;1;1;1;"foo");4;1) returns the sheet separator "." in Calc 
and "!" in Excel. Can be used as a named expression:
=HYPERLINK(IF(ShSep="." ; calc_calculation ; xls_calculation))
