MATHEMATICA IMPORT/EXPORT FORMAT

SXC (.sxc)

MIME type: application/nd.sun.xml.calc
OpenOffice 1.0 spreadsheet file.
Stores spreadsheet data and formulas.
SXC is an acronym for Sun XML Calc.
Native spreadsheet format of OpenOffice.org 1.0 and StarOffice 6.0.
ZIP-compressed XML format.
Supports multiple sheets in one file.

Import fully supports the SXC format.

Import imports all sheets of an SXC file, returning the result as a list of arrays.

Import returns the sheets of an SXC file as an expression of the form , where the are full arrays containing numerical and textual data, Boolean values, and date specifications.

Import imports the specified element from an SXC file.

Import imports a subelement.

Import imports multiple elements.

The import format can be specified with Import or Import.

See the reference pages for full general information on Import.

ImportString supports the SXC format.

General Import elements:

	"Elements"	list of elements and options available in this file
	"Rules"	full list of rules for each element and option
	"Options"	list of rules for options, properties, and settings

Data representation elements:

	"Data"	list of full arrays, representing all sheets
	"Formulas"	all SXC formulas as text

Import by default uses the element.

SXC data is represented in Mathematica by real or integer numbers, strings, Boolean values True and False, and DateList specifications.

SXC error cells are imported as $Failed.

Import gives spreadsheet formulas for each cell in the form , where the are arrays corresponding to the sheets of an SXC file.

Importing parts of a data sheet:

	"Data",k	the k sheet, given as an array
	"Data",k,m	row m of the k sheet
	"Data",k,m,n	cell of the k sheet

Importreturns the first sheet as an array.

The following can be used to select or specify individual sheets by name:

	"Sheets"	list of sheet names
	"Sheets",name	sheet name as an array
	"Sheets",name,m	row m of sheet name
	"Sheets",name,m,n	cell in sheet name

Import["file.sxc", {"Sheets", All}] is equivalent to Import.

Import yields spreadsheets as full rectangular arrays.

Import option:

"EmptyField"
