Supported Data Types

Excel lists can contain only data that can be easily represented as XML. Objects such as charts, diagrams, and OLE objects cannot be included in lists. Excel formulas are evaluated and converted to a numeric value when a list is synchronized.

For numeric data, leading and trailing zeros are omitted and positive values are displayed without a plus sign (+) regardless of whether or not it was entered. Excel provides up to 15 significant digits of precision.

SharePoint Services provides an ASPX page to view and manage a list

Finally, the following Excel date/time formats are not directly supported and are converted to text once a list is synchronized:

hh:mm:ssZ
Hh:mm:ss.f-f
yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ssZ
yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss+/-hh:mm
yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.f-f
yyyy-mm-ddZ
yyyy-mm-dd+/-hh:mm
yyyy+/-hh:mm
yyyy-mm+/-hh:mm
