Or you know, use a non-proprietary format like CSV and analyze your data in any language you damn well please.

Excel can't import a CSV file reliably though - and neither can any other spreadsheet software I've ever tested. They have problems with dates, numeric values, etc.

The only reliable way to work with CSV is in a programming language of your choice or a plain text editor.
