[ANN] XLSX Library ready for a test - Looking for testers

[zryip theSlug]

Roger,

Thanks for your feedback.

1. In my experience, the #### is due to the column width. When the
column is not large enough to display the content, instead of
truncating the number, the #### are displayed. The app sample is only
resizing the first column. I can apply a resize to the others columns.
2. Will have a look to the difference in cell content with Libre
Office. Thanks for the screenshot.
3. Will probably add a callback message inside XLSX_Range_Values_Set
and XLSX_Range_Styles_Set, to help inform about processing large data.


Jim,

Thanks for the kind words and for the tests!



Best Regards,
