Quick answer  :-) Thank you!
at the moment I'm having a look at ExcelToSc and ExcelToSc8 and have the
feeling that there is some amount of duplicate code...

During comparison of methods ExcRelToScRel and ExcRelToScRel8 I've
wondered if it shouldn't be nRow instead of nC in the initialisation of
bRowRel:
No, that code is correct.  In the Excel binary format, both column and
row flags are stored in the (unused) higher bits of the column index
bytes.

And it changed with versions?

That's possible.  BIFF5 and BIFF8 handle many things differently.  I'm
just talking about BIFF8 here.  I don't even know if we can still find a
spec on BIFF5.  But then, that format is so old we don't really pay that
much attention.

But if something as basic as that (cell address) is wrong, I would think
that we would have received lots of bugs reports regarding Excel import
filter bugs.  So I assume that's correct.
