I am using version 1.7.8 of PHPExcel and am creating spreadsheets with no problem... almost.
The resulting spreadsheets are e-mailed to various recipients. Those using Excel 2003 have no problems at all with the file (in the createWriter call I am using 'Excel5' because some recipients are using this version of Excel). However, when those using newer versions of Excel (myself included) open the file, the data is "messed up" (some cells are empty that should not be, numbers showing 30+ decimal places where integers should be displayed, etc.). But here's the part that makes me think it is a simple setting... when I open the spreadsheet with the "messed up" data, the "Enable Editing" button is displayed at the top of the spreadsheet. When I click that button, the spreadsheet contents correct themselves.
I would like to remove this annoyance of people having to click the "Enable Editing" button before they can look at the spreadsheet. But on top of that, I learned today that anyone opening the spreadsheet on an iPad sees the "messed up" data, but with no "Enable Editing" button available.
Any helpful hints?
