Hi Simon,

Excel tables don't need to be saved as delimited text, they can be imported direct to QGis, f.e. with drag&drop.


Calculated contents in the spreadsheets are no problem, below my test with a simple table:

(note: screenshot from LibreOffice, I hope there is no difference using excel)

'Show Formula' as view-mode:


Normal view mode:


Imported to QGis: all cells with the last calculated and saved values


The imported table can than be joined to any existing vector-layer or converted to point-layer f.e. via Processing Toolbox > Vector creation > Create points layer from table.


Notes:

- You can even edit and save the imported table in QGis, but that will convert all formulas to simple alpha-numeric contents.

- Formulas are not refreshed automatically when imported to QGis, so the above field with the formula '=NOW()' (current time) will always show the last calculated value in QGis, not the actual time.

Hi all,

Excel spreadsheets can be imported into QGIS when they're formatted as Delimited text layers, but is it possible to import a spreadsheet with various cells containing different equations and then display them on a map?

Thanks,

Simon
