EXCEL : .SLK file not showing data in table format
JKPieterse Thanks for the info.
But I need a file with .SLK extension, which should display data in proper table format.
Below are the screenshots which shows data in .SLK and .SYLK files. Data in .SYLK file is readable(in table format), but in .SLK data are having HTML tags.
First Screenshot shows .SLK file and Second screenshot shows .SYLK file.
So I need data properly displayed(like .SYLK file) in .SLK file.
Is it possible to ever generate a .SLK file with tabular format? (when I exported the data in HTML format and saved the file with .SLK extension)
Answer for above question would help me.
- If you're exporting to html it makes no sense to use the SLK extension. In general a file extension is meant to indicate the type of file. Using an extension which is different than the actual file type is not good practise.
Only SYLK file types are supposed to have an SLK extension, html files should have either .htm or .html extensions.I agree with what you say but we were told by few people that earlier .SLK files were showing the data in tabular format. Was that ever a possible case? Is it an Yes or NO?
It's urgent, can you please help.
JKPieterse Thanks for the quick reply.
From our application we are exporting data in HTML format and saving as .SLK file.
Now if I open this .SLK file then it shows data in HTML tags, but when I change the file extension to .SYLK of the same file then it displays data in Table format. So I think when opening .SYLK file some implicitly conversion (HTML tags to Table format) is happening and it display data properly in table format.
But it's not happening when I open .SLK file and it still shows HTML tags format only.
Is there any settings or a way , which can get me the data in table format for .SLK file?
