Hey there,  
wouldn’t it be really cool when a xlsm file (Excel) import would be possible?

perhaps in the next version? ist this too keen to ask? or is it not realistic that this feature will come along some day?  
What do you think?  
Is there somebody else who would like that?

PS: …somebody else asked this question perhaps 2 years ago…

I think that Excel is the only application that supports embedded VBA macros. Why not just save the file as XLSX?

@Anssi raises a good point since the macros aren’t going to run in LayOut anyway!
