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

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

Import["file.sxc"] returns the sheets of an SXC file as an expression of the form {s₁, s₂, ...} where the s_i are full arrays containing numerical and textual data, Boolean values, and date specifications.

Import["file.sxc", elem] imports the specified element from an SXC file.

Import["file.sxc", {elem, sub_a, sub_b, ...}] imports a subelement.

Import["file.sxc", {{elem₁, elem₂, ...}}] imports multiple elements.

The import format can be specified with Import["file", "SXC"] or Import["file", {"SXC", elem, ...}].

See the reference pages for full general information on Import.

ImportString supports the SXC format.

ELEMENTS

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 "Data" 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["file.sxc", "Formulas"]gives spreadsheet formulas for each cell in the form {f₁, f₂, ...} where the f_i are arrays corresponding to the sheets of an SXC file.
