Performance Reports won't open

[peedy]

Running Free ESXi and I export performance reports. Save the XLS files and I've tried to open them in Excel Viewer 2003 and 2007 and they won't open. OpenOffice opens them but wants to import them like a csv. Anyone else have this problem?

Yes. I do have same problem

Both Office 2003 Excel Viewer and FileFormatblahblah for Office 2007 installed on WIndows XP.

VIClient 2.5 (from ESX3i U4) Reporter creates excels and Viewer says "Microsoft Excel cannot open files of this type."

So sad..

The files are HTML formatted. I think the full version of Excel will read the files. You can rename the files to report.html and you can view them in your browser.

Anyhow they are not quite readale after .xls->.html rename. There is all !?!¤" stuff like:

MinMax 1 MinMax 3 MinMax 4 MinMax CPU "CPU Performance" None FullPage Arial 8 552 380 1 1 15 Solid Narrow 14 Neutral Arial 8 Line Standard 0 1 1 -1 "CPU Usage (Average)" CPU Usage (Average) Medium None 0 'CPU'!$A$2:$A$112 0 'CPU'!$B$2:$B$112 3 -1 "CPU Usage (Average) - 0" CPU Usage (Average) - 0 Medium None 0 'CPU'!$A$2:$A$112 0 'CPU'!$D$2:$D$112 4 -1 "CPU Usage (Average) - 1" CPU Usage (Average) - 1 Medium None 0 'CPU'!$A$2:$A$112 0 'CPU'!$E$2:$E$112 Line Standard 3 4 2 -1 "CPU Usage in MHz (Average)" CPU Usage in MHz (Average) Medium None 0 'CPU'!$A$2:$A$112 0 'CPU'!$C$2:$C$112 Bottom 0 0 "Time" None 0 1 Arial 8 d.M.yyyy\ H:mm Low 22 10 Category Left 1 1 "Percent" None 90 0 Minimum MidCategory Arial 8 0 Value Bottom 3 3 4 Automatic Left 4 4 "MHz

which probaply makes some nice(?) graph...

So the Excel viewer is not able to read all Excel files... Credit$ to M$

You can also save the files as jpeg, png.
