Excel XML - on a mac?

J

JJ

Hi all,

Newbie here. I have an application that outputs Excel XML, auto-emailing to
a distribution list. This ended up working wonderfully, users can just
click on the attachment in the email and the file opens up in a great Excel
spreadsheet for them. Prior, we would only export delimited text files,
which had to be imported to Excel. Not hard, just extra steps.

However, I have TWO users that are on Macs. Their version of Excel on the
Mac cannot handle XML or read it. I've been Googling for days now and have
only found years old postings about how Mac's Excel left this functionality
out. But nothing more recent.

Does anyone know for sure if this is just not doable? Or if so, what
changes I need to make to the XML perhaps to make it "readable" by Excel on
the Mac?

I did look at other ng's that seem to be more geared towards Mac Excel, but
there is no activity on those so posting here. Any help is appreciated.
Thx, JJ
