Hi there,
I am trying to offer alternative download formats in our data portal.
CSV is ok for a single sheet.
But it seems to be quite difficult if it gets to workbooks -
including multiple sheets, and if possible comments. One can use the
Excel-XML, but still it seems that it is mainly Excel - and not
NeoOffice, OpenOffice etc. - which is able to read that. And it is
only supported from version 2003.
HTML isn't really a solution, as it seems that one can't import it
later into any other Office package.
OpenDocument ? Didn't really find much (understandable)
documentation; and the ODF Excel or others store, is crypted.
Does anyone have any ideas or experiences to share? Thanks for any
hints!
Stef
