Subject: Re: [chirp_users] Using premade cvs or execl spreadsheet

 

Several have reported that Excel can insert extra random characters into empty cells which Chirp then rejectd.

I use Libre Office which seems OK.

The other problem is people having difficulty getting the columns and their labels in the right order.

 

Safer to stick to the Chirp editor.

I'm not sure which issue you're referring to, but there are many alternatives to Excel, whether you're using Windows, Mac or Linux. It seems unlikely that all of them have the same problem.

Because of a known issue with MS Excel, I never recomment the use of spreadsheets with Chirp.
