Excel Setting	Related Spread Property	Remarks
Cell references		Spread imports these from Excel as part of formulas. See the remarks on Formulas in this table.
Cell reference style		If Excel’s reference style is R1C1, when Spread imports the spreadsheet, the ColumnHeaderAutoText property is set to 1 (Display Numbers). See the note on Formulas in this table.
Formulas		Formulas are imported from Excel into Spread. When the import encounters a cell containing a formula or function, the corresponding cell in Spread is set to the appropriate cell type. If the import encounters a cell with a formula that it does not support, the cell may be left empty or given an error value.For more details on the functions in Spread, refer to the Formula Reference.
