Proof-of-concept Calc add-in that provides a basic set of spreadsheet functions for manipulating scientific measurements, tracking units of measure and uncertainty (input and displayed as significant figures, but tracked as an arbitrary floating-point number internally). Usage instructions and further information are on the extension page on my web site.
On 2020-09-12, I tested Measurements 1.3 on OpenOffice 4.1.7 and amazingly, it still runs after 11 years. (Kudos to OpenOffice and Java for backward compatibility.) Just remember to restart OpenOffice after installing, and depending on your OS distribution, you may need to install an additional package to get the unoil.jar file that is necessary to successfully install the extension. I don't plan to make another release just to get rid of the "This extension was not updated recently" warning, but I'll consider making enhancements if users express significant demand.

I would love to be able to use this extension, but it won't install. I am using ubuntu (Tried on versions 10.4 and 10.10), and so this may be the problem. Has anyone had the same problem? Or does it install on windows with no problem? Please help me!
Worked fine for me in Windows. It looks like you need to take an extra step in Ubuntu (from https://mattmccutchen.net/measurements/):
Note: For the extension to install properly, you must have the file unoil.jar that contains the OpenOffice.org Java interfaces. In Fedora, this file is in the main OpenOffice.org package; in Ubuntu, it comes in a separate openoffice.org-java-common package.
