I am super new to UBUNTU and have recently switched to Open Source from Windows.
I have a Microsoft spreadsheet that I have downloaded, and now in LibreOffice Calc, I am getting Error 508 in a few columns.
Is there any suggestion on how to fix this and how am I going to be able to work on this spreadsheet in UBUNTU 14.04?

According to the list of error codes, Error 508 means your brackets don't add up. Maybe you opened a bracket and didn't close it, or you closed more brackets than you have openend before.
This error means your brackets don't add up.
See
=SUM(B3;B8;B5;B7) is OK
But =SUM(B3;B8;B5,B7) is NOT.
Although the brackets added up ok. but because of the formula evaluation ended upon the error separator ",",
it becomes =SUM(B3;B8;B5, that accounts for the missing ")".
This is one of those software nightmare or software jokes, depending on your mood.
