@patio11 … or the project you can't pursue because of legal. github.com/SheetJS/sheetjs and the supporting company exist to a large extent because a Microsoft employee couldn't get approval to use a real license. In a funny twist of fate, Microsoft now uses our project in Office 365!

@rauschma The `xlsx` module actually ships with a bin script: $ npx xlsx --xlsx in.csv # writes XLSX -> in.csv.xlsx $ npx xlsx --xls in.csv # writes XLS -> in.csv.xls $ npx xlsx in.csv -o out.xlsx # writes to out.xlsx (output format deduced from filename) $ npx xlsx --help # for more info

@sheetsj "Jeff Sheets" is a great name for a future SheetJS mascot! Or a future SheetJS teammate ...

@patio11 "Spreadsheets" are unbundling. If you start from "Excel is a tool for data analysis", you get Tableau. Starting from "Excel is a tool for list making" yields Trello. "Excel is a database" becomes AirTable. All are the "quite innovative new approaches" on spreadsheets.

@tylertringas Hi @tylertringas SheetJS is focused on spreadsheet mechanics (reading/writing/editing real spreadsheets, executing formulae and recalculating complex workbooks, etc). Our software is used by government agencies and companies that avoid Google Sheets for a whole host of reasons.

@sseraphini @github @githubhelp this is affecting many popular projects and the messages are basically the same. The most recent spam user 'heken375' submitted to @getbootstrap @typescript and @webpack among other projects

@patio11 @gtank__ @WAptekar Analyzing spreadsheets is a 90/10 problem (easy to address common use cases, extremely difficult in general). INDIRECT and the new spill formulae make static analysis difficult since you need to look at the sheet values It's probably better suited for a consultancy than a SaaS.

@WAptekar (shameless plug) along with our spreadsheet I/O libraries we offer a special JS formula calculator that evaluate Excel formulae. You can change values in the worksheet and recalculate the dependent values. Testing is hard thanks to algorithmic changes between Excel versions

@Path2SharePoint The Pro offering includes support for many niche yet technically complex features like "Charts", "VBA code", "Power Pivot", and "calculating expressions", but most use cases only need a small subset of those features. As a result, it's better to have an upfront discussion

@patio11 There's an even shorter supply of people who can inspire those of us 2 years into that grind. Your advice from our 2015 conversation (which started from x.com/patio11/status… ) was coincidentally 2 years into my pursuit and is a huge reason why SheetJS is still a thing in 2019

Three hours dev time with sheetjs.com and I have basically integrated I-can't-believe-its-not-Google-Sheets into the AR app.

@TarasNovak @code Unfortunately many developers think ODS is ODiouS. We'd love to support LibreOffice more but there are deep and irreconcilable philosophical differences regarding the importance of exact calculations (see bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?i… )

marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName… is a very slick open source VSCode extension for viewing spreadsheets and other files, using SheetJS libraries under the hood :) vscode-data-preview in dark mode is visually pleasing compared to Excel's garish dark mode. Thanks @TarasNovak !
