Re: Import from Excel — once more, with feeling. :-) (Apache POI)

hi rob.

use the libxl based xcomp that is available free of charge to all (it will cost you $199 in a licence from the libxl guy, but thats peanuts).

its dirt simple.

and you can import spreadsheets with calculations in them … and you get the values.

thats how we wrote the xcomp … and it works

I still think the simplest way to accomplish this is via a CSV or, preferably, tab-delimited file, but I’m exploring ways to do this using a native Excel file directly. (I’m aware of LibXL, libxl.com.)
