Post subject: | Export to Excel on a Mac |
Just wondering if there is a way to export my owned movies to a file I can open with Excel in OpenOffice on my Mac? I exported the list as XML, TXT and JSON. Non of them will open in Excel. How can I print a list of my owned movies in columns with the selected fields? |

I haven't used Excel in years, but I'm surprised that you can't import from XML. In my mind, it's a fundamental. If I search for "excel import xml" on Google, I get many results... What about this one? http://office.microsoft.com/en-au/excel-help/import-xml-data-HP010206405.aspx#BMimport_an_xml_file_into_existing_mapp |

That web page is for Excel on a Windows computer. I'm using OpenOffice on a Mac. |

I thought it would be very similar on a Mac, but if it's not the case, you just have to add "mac" to your Google search. I won't teach you how to use Excel as I don't use it myself. But there's no doubt that Excel can import XML. |

I just figured it out. OpenOffice on a Mac has a spreadsheet application built in called Calc. It is not Excel. It does open and save .xls files though. OpenOffice does not open or import xml files. I had to convert the xml file to xls first, then OpenOffice will open it. The following website converts the file online: http://www.luxonsoftware.com/converter/xmltoexcel |
