CSV doesn't export *formulas*, just the visible numbers.

gnumeric handles everything excel that I have ever needed, and is FOSS.
I believe OpenOffice also does very well.

That being said, you are more likely to find excel installed than either of those, excel is the spreadsheet standard at this point, and both those products mentioned handle most excel files, so saving as excel should (in most cases) be plenty portable.
