"Tabular" announcement: support of Excel/Calc spreadsheets formats
Couple years after failing of the last, GSoC-powered effort to implement Excel/Calc support, I come to the point when I need it desperately. Therefore I started Tabular (ss3.gemstone.com/ss/Tabular.html) package. It's now very early stages, and exporting code is quite dirty - but it works as proof-of-concept, generating XLSX files with cells meging support - which is, anyway, more than we have in SCV. It was already used in production code, and already generating tax reports or something like this. Some of other members of RSUG looks interested in participating in this development, so we may expect significiant progress in nearest future.
Loaded fine in my 3.0 and got the XLSX sample in $HOME. Great to have something like this! Phil On Tue, Oct 14, 2014 at 10:39 AM, ЮÑий ÐиÑоненко <assargaddon@gmail.com> wrote:

With Pharo aiming at the business environment, I'm sure this will be very handy for lots of people, and no doubt I'll find a use for it in the future. Thanks for the effort (and announcing). cheers -ben
