Processing of xls databases

BuildPlus can process .xls databases that meet these criteria:

• The worksheet must look like a database, with one row that contains the field names, then multiple rows of field values of a consistent type
• The first field should be the tagnames.
• Blank rows are not supported
• Fancy features, such as filters, drop-downs, macros, formats, are not supported and will cause problems in the processing
• For DBDOC, the XLS files may need to be modified to remove blank rows or any of the above mentioned features
• If you export your PI database into XLS format, DO NOT customize it
