What is Akeneo Excel Connector Bundle?

This bundle adds support of Excel XSLX files as a source for initialization and importation of catalog structure for Akeneo PIM.

Note: The file init.xslx must be opened and edited with Excel. Usage of LibreOffice/OpenOffice disables validation of input and can lead to malformed file.

DEPRECATED: this bundle is not compatible with the latest Akeneo PIM. Starting from 1.6 PIM version, you should use ExcelInitBundle instead.
