Excel Reference - Native Formats
(Page 2 of 6 )
Excel 2007 supports many common structured data and graphic formats without the need to filter the files. Table 4-2 lists all of the structured data formats Excel understands without the need for conversion, and Table 4-3 displays the native graphics formats. If you can’t find a filter for the file format you want to use in Excel, look on the Office web site, the Office installation disk, and the program manufacturer’s web site to see if a filter is available.
