D.3.2 Numeric Data

Data => Variable*[n-variables]
Variable => byte*288[variable-name] double*[n-values]

Data follow the Metadata in the legacy binary format, with sources in the same order (but readers should use the data-offset in Metadata records, rather than reading sequentially). Each Variable begins with a variable-name that generally indicates its role in the pivot table, e.g. “cell”, “cellFormat”, “dimension0categories”, “dimension0group0”, followed by the numeric data, one double per datum. A double with the maximum negative double -DBL_MAX represents the system-missing value SYSMIS.
