alternative to Pocket Excel?

Whenever I copy an Excel file to my pda & try to view it, some of the cells which contain dates are filled with a series of #######'s. This is less that useful. I'm guessing that the file conversion process cannot handle everything.

Can anyone recommend an alternative bit of software?

It could be that the column width isn't sufficient to show the data correctly - try making the column wider.

Maybe you have the cells set as Numbers and they're seeing text - confuses them! Check in format cells.

yes DaveA is right In the colume heading put stylus on dividing line and drag to right to enlarge column width, This will then show data that is missing.
