I used that method regularly. Spreadsheet entered in MS excel,
import into Open Office, save. Unzip the xml and process.
The empty cells weren't a problem. The information is present
to 'expand' them to make a complete matrix. Expand to a variable
then process in the normal way.
Note it was 'regular' data though.
