--- Comment #11 from ady <[email protected]> ---
FWIW, I can reproduce this without Excel at all. Also, there must be something
very specific in order to trigger this issue, because I'm getting mixed
results.

I was trying to reproduce this in LO 7.4.5, without starting from an imported
file. I tried several different minor variations in the procedure:

* Having a column label (or not).
* Using AutoFilter (or not).
* Using one unique value (either true or false, not both).
* Dragging the mouse in order to fill the data, all in one step (i.e. one
dragging movement), or instead making 2 movements (i.e. dragging once up to row
99, release the mouse, dragging again up to row 210).
* Filling more (or less) rows.
* Using TRUE() and FALSE(), or TRUE/FALSE, or combining these.


I could go on with additional minor differences.

Observations:

Using AutoFilter, the first time I get many different values within the
AutoFilter list itself (many FALSE, TRUE, 0 and 1s). I mean that AutoFilter
itself lists these values repeated times (with its own checkbox, etc.). After I
PageDown, PageUp, the list in AutoFilter now shows each value 1 time (i.e. up
to 4 different items at most, depending on the values being displayed on the
cells). To be clear, I didn't even select a specific value; the resulting list
is not filtered, no action was performed other than scroll down/up, and yet the
AutoFilter list is different.

Since I haven't modified the values, why AutoFilter would recognize them
differently first, but as equivalent values the second time? I kept trying
different minor adjustments to the procedure.

Using "Save" or using "Save As" (I'm not sure anymore), I ended up with 2 xlsx
files with the same original content, but one file opens up showing TRUE/FALSE
only, whereas the other displays TRUE/FALSE/0/1.

In some cases (of all my attempts), I only closed the file, whereas in others I
also closed LO entirely. Sometimes the 0/1 values are "in the middle" of the
data rage; sometimes they are only seen in the bottom half of the rows. To be
clear, I never introduced numbers in these attempts.

Now I have 2 xlsx files created with LO 7.4.5, with the exact same original
content, showing 2 different things, with 2 different size weights:

* 6KB (incorrect, with 0/1 too) vs.
* 17KB (with TRUE/FALSE only).


I see problems with AutoFilter, and with how the values are displayed in the
respective cells (and in which range). The only problem is that I cannot
identify a step-by-step procedure that I could describe in order to reproduce
exactly what I did so to obtain these files, or why I see the 0/1 values in
different ranges (considering that I am opening the same exact file).

Although I'm not able to describe a clear procedure ATM, I am sharing this
experience here, just in case someone else sees some similar behavior.
