Binary Formats and other configurations internal to Excel. This Module is likely to shrink as Support for older Versions of Excel grows and more Binary formats are moved away from here for disambiguation. If you need to work with constants defined in this module and are confused by names like SEDOC_ROLOC, try reading them backwards. (The reason for this weird naming convention is that according to my ri, Ruby 1.9 renames Hash#index to Hash#key without backward compatibility. Since I did not want to pepper my code with RUBY_VERSION-checks, I settled on this strategy to make the transition to Ruby 1.9 as simple as possible.
From BIFF5 on, the built-in number formats will be omitted. The built-in formats are dependent on the current regional settings of the operating system. The following table shows which number formats are used by default in a US-English environment. All indexes from 0 to 163 are reserved for built-in formats.
