Right, this is basically what I am trying to do now. A manual approach of sorts. I just realized that there are operations I am not sure how to do them in org. I'll send a different post about it. smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature

Re: how to use complex excel formula in org
Just an idea (especially given I havent touched Excel formulae for a v. long time): Have you considered using (G)awk? It could be possible to build up a list of arrays containing data and formulae and then perform as result in the end block. It could get onerous to do and may be hackish/bespoke but Awk can be quite satisfying a tool. Im sure somebody is sitting on a more correct approach however.

how to use complex excel formula in org
Hi I currently have to collaborate with an excel file that contains quite a bit of complex formula. I cannot simply import the file via xlsx-->csv-->org Since csv does no know about excel formulas. Does anybody know about a tool a trick to use that excel formula. Regards Uwe Brauer
