XLS file exported by ExcellentExport.js doesn't open in Numbers app in Mac OS X #7

It works fine on MS Office and LibreOffice, but when opened using Numbers it just displays the table markup code not the actual formatted data.

I used the XLS file exported from the demo here: http://jordiburgos.com/post/2014/excellentexport-javascript-export-to-excel-csv.html

I can't check it on Mac. If someone else could check it...

This can work on excel 2011 but you need to perform some command like jujutsu:

1) rename the downloaded file to html: $ mv download download.html

2) force it to open in excel: $ open -a Microsoft\ Excel.app download.html
