This is what is weird...I guess its backwards compatibility or
something.

the file is an xlsx but it is wrapping at IV I guess for excel 97 so
we checked and it has about 8000 time values...can the newer excel go
that high?


we end up with a single sheet that looks like this (quick cut and
paste not what we have) over and over until the end of its time cycle.

IF it was a single row of data a quick transpose and we are done.
