Hey Gentry,

I am writing a program to extract data from excel file directly. having an
issue on the XF record.
According the document from microsoft(Office 97 document).
Every cell keep a XF index point to the XF table, you can get the format
ID from the XF table, but I am trying this method against several excel
file, I found the same format(for example 12,345.00) map to different
format ID, in my case it's 176/179, anyone has any idea about how to
get the format information of the cell ?

any input is appreciated.


Thanks,

Tim
