Thank you, Eike! I have updated my "Readme":

The Soil Retaining Wall spreadsheet is developed and maintained in the 
ODS Open Document Spreadsheet formt (part of ODF 1.0 (ISO/IEC 
26300:2006)) with LibreOffice. Only this and the similar OpenOffice and 
derivatives of this presently support all features.

To download LibreOffice or the similar OpenOffice for all platforms, see
http://www.libreoffice.org
http://www.openoffice.org

Mac users may find it works with NeoOffice:

Gnumeric will run the calculation but not display included images:

The same applies to online programs such as Google Drive, which also 
requires registration.

Microsoft Office prior to 2013 will display the spreadsheet but not 
actually calculate anything. Excel 2013 should run the calculations. 
XLS/XLSX files made by any of the new programs should run in the older 
Excel versions.
