writeexcel_workbook and 255 character limitation

Post by milko »

Hello everyone,

I am using the writeexcel_workbook - module by Johann Hanne to export xls-files.
This works fine, apart from one annoying limitation; you can't store more than 255 characters into a cell.
Simply raising the limit in the code, which I tried, doesn't work.

Does anyone know how to get around this?

Many thanks in advance.

Milko.
