Description

  • QGIS can recognize *.xlsx files by dragging and dropping however it doesn't recognize *.xlsm (Macro Enabled) files (despite that it has the same xlsx structure) unless the extension is renamed to *.xlsx
  • When importing an Excel file, QGIS recognize the headers only if the second row was not empty and contains a number in the 2nd row, can this "Has header" be an optional check in the sheet import dialog instead of auto detect?.
