Bug ID: 150964
Summary: FILEOPEN: HTM file with extension XLS partially
imported using default filter by Calc
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.4.0.0 beta1+
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc

HTML Excel Workbook
An HTML file (labelled internally as ExcelWorksheet) with an xls extension
opened in Calc does not import all the table data unless the filter "HTML
Document (Calc) (.html, .xhtml, .htm)" is explicitly chosen. Double-clicking
the file opens in Calc with only one cell visible.
If the extension is renamed .odt it opens in Writer with all data visible.
The same file opens correctly in Excel 2010 although with warning about
incorrect extensions; apparently later versions of Excel open it without
complaint.
This problem arises in Ask.LibreOffice
https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/xls-file-does-not-open-in-libre-calc-but-opens-in-google-sheets/81770
An average user is unlikely to investigate every filter option, especially not
to the 70th filter in the list. The original questioner in Ask.LibreOffice
appears to have not found the filter although it is explicitly mentioned in one
comment and in one answer.
Can the filter selection be made easier? Or made automatic as the name Excel
Worksheet is included inside the file?
