sicritchley Excel Formulas in Visualforce Page
I have built a visualforce page that renders to an excel. The main structure of the excel is using Tables however I run into a problem when I need to include excel formulas in the table.
The main problem I am having is that when I include an excel formula that includes greater than or less than statement, which include a < or >, it causes the visualforce page to throw up the following error:
Error: The content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup.
How can I place my formula in the table without getting this error? Is there a function that will output the text exactly as it is shown without trying to render elements between the < and > characters?
Try < for < and > for > and see what happens. VF is reading < > as tag starts and ends, that should get around it.

Hi,
I am currently having a similar problem. Well my problem is trying to bring data from excel into a Visual Force page while keeping the excel forumlas the same. So far all I have come across is people saying that vice versa, I can export Visual Force data into Excel, is the only thing possible.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
could you please show a simple example how you describe Excel formulas on a VisualForce page?
