excel.vim

A simple vim plugin for displaying data from an excel file.


Requirements

• It is required that vim is compiled with python3 support.

• Python module xlrd is also required for old excel XLS. (This can be installed using pip install xlrd).

• Python module pylightxl is also required. (This can be installed using pip install pylightxl).

• For vim 7.3 and earlier, support is good for many file formats, including:
  .xls,.xlam,.xla,.xlsx,.xlsm,.xltx,.xltm,.xlt etc

• For vim 7.4, please add the following to your .vimrc file:

  let g:zipPlugin_ext = '*.zip,*.jar,*.xpi,*.ja,*.war,*.ear,*.celzip,*.oxt,*.kmz,*.wsz,*.xap,*.docx,*.docm,*.dotx,*.dotm,*.potx,*.potm,*.ppsx,*.ppsm,*.pptx,*.pptm,*.ppam,*.sldx,*.thmx,*.crtx,*.vdw,*.glox,*.gcsx,*.gqsx'
  

##Limitations

• You can only read data from a file, any modifications will NOT be saved to the original excel file.

• Works best on excel files that contain ASCII characters only.

##Note
