RE: Getting data into a PF from an Excel spreadsheet

Greetings:

The only absolutely predictable thing about *.XLS files supplied by users
(or vendors or customers) is that once you have come to a firm and binding
agreement that nothing about the format will change, the format will prove
to be randomly variable. In fact the probability, for any given instance
of a file, that it will be generated by somebody other than the normal
sender (e.g. a temp working in Lotus 1-2-3 R5), is directly proportional
to the cube of the number of persons being away from the office, who would
know how to deal with a format change.
