Hi !

is it possible to manipulate the code to converte it in AS2?
i don’t understand what you said about the AS2 split :/
could you send me the AS2 lines to read it?
you would be soooo kind

SL, thank you for this, it is a huge help!

But do you know how to deal with EGM that has multiple empty cells in a row? In the XML, Excel seems to leave out a Data element if the cell is empty. It does put a NamedCell element between each Data element, so I guess two NamedCell elements in a row means an empty cell.

So can you perhaps suggest a clean way to read the rows and columns into a 2-dimensional matrix, even if there are empty cells?

Thank you!!!!!

SL, thank you for the most interesting tip. I’m researching languages that I can build rich visual apps with and still communicate with Excel spreadsheets to pull data. I’m a beginner, but you laid things out very clearly and I can see what you did. I viewed your source files; they were a big help. Thank you so much! I’ll pop in to see what you’re doing with AS3, as it looks like this is going to be the one…

Thanks again!
