Does FlexCel have the ability to read/write Google Sheets files? I know that Google Sheets can import/export to a local .xlsx file, but our customer would like to access the google sheet directly.
I've had a look at the manual for your Cloud pack, which I see includes a google sheets component, but not sure how that would integrate with FlexCel.
Sorry, but no, only xls and xlsx files. As far as I know, there is no documented file format for a google sheets file, and you can't download a google sheet locally to be processed with a tool like FlexCel.
If you want to download a file to a hard disk, you have to download it as an xlsx file (well, you could also download it as csv, which FlexCel can also read, but I wouldn't recommend it):
I guess that to work natively with a google sheets file we would have to access the file via the Web API of google sheets, but that's currently outside the scope of FlexCel. It would be a really different project
I don't
know how well you know the TMS cloud pack - do you know if there's a Web
API call that I could make to download a google sheet to a local file
myself... that way I could just save to a temporary xlsx file and then
use FlexCel to open that file. Similarly, if there's a Web API call to
upload a file, I could then use that to upload the temporary file after
I've saved it from within FlexCel.
Don't worry if you're not famililar with the cloud pack - maybe I'll try downloading a trial version and see what's available!!
