Mobile Monitor Technologies Display

Just a quick update.  We ordered two displays from Mobile Monitor Technologies today.  We were told that they couldn't get the order in for the Feburary batch but that we'd be in the March batch.

Issue: Large Excel Files

We have a client that provides large Excel files (.xls) that contain 60,000 to 100,000 rows of information.  That equated to a 38MB file.  We wanted to reduce the size of the file for our binder so we saved it as an Excel binary workbook (.xlsb) and then inserted it into the binder.  To our surprise, when we tried to open the file from within Engagement it didn't open.  Tried opening it on different computers and still no luck.

I called Engagement Support and was told that Excel binary workbooks were not listed as compatible file types but that "if it can be opened outside Engagement you should be able to open it from Engagement."  I was also told that no one on the product team had tested compatibility with Excel binary workbooks.

So, in short, no luck with binary workbooks for now.  If it's any consolation, a request for enhancement was filed.
