Woohoo - my first Workplace Dashboard Framework 2.6.5 portlet

Hi

I've just spent a couple of hours following this most excellent tutorial from one of my IBM colleagues: -

Building dashboards with IBM Workplace Dashboard Framework

http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/workplace/library/dashboard-excel/

I did hit a problem with a java.lang.NumberFormatException which slowed me down a tad. It turned out to be a problem with, quelle surprise, the format of some numbers in my spreadsheet.

I've documented this in the attached files below.

Hope this helps someone

Dave
