Interesting. I only import and export xls(x) files, with say 300 column
and say 4 columns containing marks of students. For this purpose the
export and import functions via csv work fine and I have the benefit of
using the power of Emacs to edit the list. The spreadsheet functionality
offered by org (via calc) is enough for me.
