It's bloody complicated, weird XML though. So don't expect it to be easy. It's been like that since they switched over to xslx in 2007 or whatever.

- speps 9y agoIt is an ECMA spec though: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/gg607163%28v=office.14%29.aspx https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/gg607163%28v...
- bkor 9y agoThe format used by Microsoft Office differs from the ECMA spec (how much I'm not sure). By default it saves it in a different format. You have to choose a Strict filetype for that format to be used. Meaning, most files out there don't follow the spec. Further, some bits of the spec are quite strange ("follow the behaviour of Word/WordPerfect"). See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Open_XML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Open_XML.
