Excel Compatible Symbols

Hi there,

I am creating a sheet for a project that I will need to export to Excel for poeple outside of my company to use and I was wondering if there are any symbols that are compatible with an export to Excel ie. would look the same.

Thanks in advance,

Graham

Hi Graham,

Symbol usage in Excel differs quite a bit, as Excel typically allows for standard uni-6, uni-8, and I believe even uni-12 symbols. I think that Excel doesn't associate text values with symbols as Smartsheet does—but I could be wrong on this.

Smartsheet uses specific symbols that were designed internally, and associates them with a text value. When you export them, I believe you just get the text value.
