Import/export is coming. Probably in the next release.
- niggler 14y agoAny spreadsheet app should have some sort of import/export support ON LAUNCH DAY. The omission looks sloppy. Just to make it clear, it's not that hard to do it. Here's a very basic example in javascript that took roughly 3 hours of time (this parses enough of the XLSX format to generate a CSV output with a few integers and strings; requires html5 file API to be able to manipulate the file in your browser. Best results on chrome): http://niggler.github.com/js-xlsx/ http://niggler.github.com/js-xlsx/ source: https://github.com/Niggler/js-xlsx https://github.com/Niggler/js-xlsx There's an XLS version as well (doesn't support the full panoply of features): http://niggler.github.com/js-xls/ http://niggler.github.com/js-xls/ source: https://github.com/Niggler/js-xls https://github.com/Niggler/js-xls
- stinky613 14y agoDoes this / will this hook into the Google Spreadsheet API to pull data from Google Docs?
- trpeters1 14y agoI would have done the import/export functionality before adding Lua scripting. No reason to release the product without having the data hooks in place. We don't need more silos.
- glhaynes 14y agoI'll be contrarian and say importing/exporting aren't required for the first release. This isn't about being a replacement for Excel on a computer. It obviously should come soon, though, and my expectation would be to see it in a free update.
- pc86 14y agoHave you decided on what formats and/or third party services you will be exporting to?
- kcl 14y agoAll within reason. We're not going to try to be a silo, if that's what you mean. We want to be as interoperable with other applications as possible.
