To convert your XLS workbooks to one of the new file formats, Oracle recommends that you first create a backup copy of the XLS workbook and then follow these steps:
Select Save As from the Office button. The Save As command has a submenu where you can select a different file format, or you can use the Save As dialog to select the file format.
After you save the file to one of the new file formats, the Crystal Ball data is converted to the Microsoft Excel 2007 format.
If you saved your XLS workbooks to one of the new file formats without Crystal Ball 7.3.x or later loaded, you may see the following warning message:
This workbook contains one or more of the following features that are not supported by the selected file format: * Script objects To save the workbook without these features, click OK. To keep using these features, click Cancel, and then select a file format that supports these features.
This message is normal and you should click OK to proceed with the operation. Crystal Ball will convert its data to the Microsoft Excel 2007 or later format the next time you save the file with Crystal Ball 7.3.x or later loaded.
Pre-7.0 Crystal Ball data is converted in Microsoft Excel 2007, even if you save it back to an .xls file. If you open a workbook created in Crystal Ball 2000.x (5.x) in Microsoft Excel 2007 with Crystal Ball loaded, the data is converted to the current Crystal Ball format. Even if you save it back to a workbook with .xls extension, the Crystal Ball data remains in the current Crystal Ball format. To preserve the Crystal Ball data in pre- 7.0 format, avoid opening the workbook in Microsoft Excel 2007. However, if you open a workbook created in Crystal Ball 2000.x (5.x) in Microsoft Excel 2007 without Oracle Crystal Ball, Fusion Edition loaded, and then save it to a Microsoft Excel 2007 or later format, the Crystal Ball data is lost. |
