Spreadsheet that misbehaves

I'm going to attach two files: 7_Series_XPE_14_2.xls and 7_Series_XPE_2014_4.xlsm. These are two versions of mostly the same thing. Libreoffice misbehaves on the first one, and takes minutes to open the second, and then hangs (or takes way too long to respond). As an aside, the second one also misbehaves when opened by Office Pro 2003 Excel via Microsoft Open XML Converter.
What you should see when you open the spreadsheet (with macros enabled): In the Device/Family pulldown, select Zynq-7000. When you change this, the options in the Device pulldown should change so that XC7Z010 is one of the choices. 
What I see for the .xls file is an empty box for the Family pulldown. What I see for the .xlsm file after a few minutes is normal Family pulldown, but when I select "Zynq-7000" the program hangs.
I don't see a way to attach two files. The other file can be found at http://www.xilinx.com/products/design_tools/logic_design/xpe.htm by clicking on the "7 Series and Zynq®-7000" download button.

Hello,
.xls file I can open in LO but cannot open in excel 2010. Could you prepare simple version of file?

.xlsm file I can open in excel2010 in few second, in LO long time to open. No crash when changing to Zynq-7000, but long time. Setting to new.

<from OP> This is not my spreadsheet and I have no idea how it is put together or how to modify it.

I have tested these spreadsheets with version 5.1.2.2 (LibreOffice_5.1.2_Win_x86.msi) on Windows 7-64
I believe the symptoms are unchanged. Here are my observations today:

Loading the first spreadsheet leaves me with nothing in the Device/Family box to select. Task Manager shows no significant activity.

Loading the second spreadsheet hangs with "Load document" bar at about 95%.
Task Manager shows soffice.bin *32 process taking 25% CPU time (i.e. 100% of one core) and memory is at 249,224K. After several minutes, the spreadsheet comes up. Selecting Device Family Zynq-7000 again takes 25% CPU time for a long time without the new selection taking effect. I give up.

I have retried this bug on my system, now upgraded to windows 10, and using LibreOffice Calc 5.3.2.2
The first .xls file acts the same: No options appear in the Device/Family pulldown.
The second .xlsm file has improved, but still fails. When I load it, the spreadsheet rapidly appears. However, when I make a selection in Device/Family, the options in Device/Device to not change to represent the available members of that family.

The newer version of the spreadsheet from AMD (nee Xilinx) (7_Series_XPE_2019_1_2.xlsm) seems to be acting better. However, I get errors in scripts. I propose that this spreadsheet is just too complicated to expect it to work with LibreOffice, and we can't expect AMD to debug the thing. So let's just close this bug.

If there is either a bug or a valid enhancement, closing the report would not bring any positive result.

Additionally, version 6.4 is too old by now. This should be tested using a recent version.
