Support for XLSX format Excel files for 256+ data columns

Hello,

We are writing complex tests that are requiring more than 256 data columns to support them.

Our current data sources are Excel file but SoapUI only supports the older XLS format which has a limit of 256 columns.

While we can move to other data source formats like CSV or database, Excel style data sources are much more user friendly.

Do you have plans to support XLSX files? We don't want to expend considerable effort reconstructing tests only to find that extended Excel support is just about to be released.

Thanks,
Gordon.

    It's not in the current sprint (3 weeks long), but apart from that I can't really tell you more since it depends a lot on third party libraries.

    So: Don't hold your breath but don't be surprised if it's supported a month from now.
