In Summary
The unique name for a spreadsheet comes from the system designation. Any report name found on the spreadsheet is unreliable. Some spreadsheets are organized into “books” that are made up of multiple sheets.
A spreadsheet can contain all sorts of special characters and special features. However, for the purpose of corporate databases, the most important special characters are xlstab, linefeed, and eold.
If desired, entire sections of a spreadsheet can be blocked off.
In addition to the “standard” spreadsheet format, there is also the simple list format.
It is true that a spreadsheet can be formatted so that it cannot be automatically managed by spreadsheet disambiguation software.
On occasion it is desirable to place a spreadsheet into .txt format. A .txt format is a perfectly acceptable choice when it comes to spreadsheet disambiguation since special characters are reserved in the .txt format.
