Ben is a Calc developer and Olivier is an active member of the ODF TC well aware of what's going on and what's needed here. So please don't waste their time and energy with things you don't know or are not aware of. And furthermore if there is a need for interoperability on Excel side, then it's up to Excel to develop it, not to Calc to restrain its development. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
