Failure to properly import spreadsheet
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:55:29 UTC
Imported spreadsheet does not contain the drop down selectable options that MS Excel contains. I am not sure if they are VB macros? Not sure how to tell. No warning appears in OOo. GNU/Linux RH7.3 OOo 1.1RC3 and 1.1RC2 and 1.0.3.
Created attachment 9041 [details] File with reported probelm (2.5MB, sorry, had to gz)
Would not let me send at original size. Had to gzip the file to 400Kb. Only displays 60 lines or so. Looks like it must have ALOT of lookup information embeded!
Hi PJ, this is a limitation of the excel import. What you're facing is a datapilot which is slightly different from the original Excel Pivot table. Rows 1 to 15 and many more are hidden and the Pivot table control is simply not available in OOo Calc. So I have to set this one to invalid, as it works as intended. Frank
