FAQ
Q1: Can the exported file retain the original formatting?
- Solution: Exporting to the corresponding format (such as xlsx) can completely retain all formatting, formulas, and styles. When exporting to other formats (such as multi-dimensional table), some formulas may need to be reset. It is recommended to check the formula settings after export.
Q2: Is an internet connection required for export?
- Solution: Yes. Since collaborative spreadsheet data is stored in the cloud, the export operation requires a network connection to obtain the latest data. Ensure the network is normal before performing the export operation.
Q3: Are formulas retained after exporting to PDF?
- Solution: No. PDF exports the calculation results (static values) of the formulas, not the formulas themselves. If you need to retain the formulas, please export to xlsx format.
Notes
- Exporting generates a copy and will not affect the cloud collaborative file
- Frequent exporting may cause delays in cloud saving. It is recommended to confirm that the file has been updated before exporting.
- The "Efficiency" tab at the top of the page allows you to choose to export to PDF, image, and multi-dimensional table
