I wasn't happy with the simple 1"=1000 feet altitude calculation method. Accuracy was crappy above 5000 feet. This version uses a lookup table derived from the Barometric Formula and maintains ~ 100 feet accuracy throughout its operating range. Also some other minor improvements to the user interface:

The source is posted in the files section along with an updated workbook that contains the algorithm used to calculate altitude.
