--- Comment #5 from Victor V. Terber <[email protected]> ---
In my understanding the root cause is a LO violation of the ECMA-376 standard.

Paragraph 18.17.2 (page 2034, header "Syntax), of ECMA-376, 4th Edition,
states:

"An arbitrary number of space characters can separate two adjacent tokens,
except that no space characters shall separate a function-name from the left
parenthesis (() that follows it."

In my opinion the XLSX files saved by LO do not take any precaution to fulfil
the except clause of this requirement. Would the requirement be fulfilled the
observed compatibility problem with MS Excel would not occur (as can be proven
trivially by manually changing the XLSX file accordingly).
