Just a thought. Does this happen with only one file or any file created the same way? If it's just one file, could it be that the file is somehow corrupted? Maybe export then import it and save it as a new name and test? Just a thought. Dale :-) :-)

Unfortunately I don't know much about the internals of either so my recommendation is to use LibreOffice Calc as long as you can, and try recreating the file from scratch.

Did > the file become truncated at some point? I only get this error when try to open the file with Gnumeric. LibraOffice is reading the file/spreadsheet OK, though slow. When I hit OK I can Gnumeric can read the file OK. I went through the spreadsheet (deleted some) but still getting same error with Gnumeric.

See https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/XML_File_Formats. It looks like the strings which do not parse are literally what you have pasted into your message - why are there so many mismatched close parenthesis? #REF means the given cell [range] can't be resolved. Did the file become truncated at some point?
[gentoo-user] General ODF error
I've a spreadsheet file (ODS) with several sheets in it but when I try to open it, it take long time to load When I try to open it with Gnumeric I get a warning: General ODF error Unable to parse '((#REF!;#REF!))' ('All entries in the set must be references') Unable to parse '(((#REF!;#REF!);#REF!' ('All entries in the set must be references') Unable to parse '(((#REF!;#REF!);#REF!' ('All entries in the set must be references') I think it must be due to these references. How to locate/look in spreadsheets for these references -- Thelma
