Re: What file format to use for xlsx file?
Susen, .xlsx is a proprietary file format for M$’s spreadsheet program. The easiest way I’ve found to deal with them is to convert them to .ods (open document spreadsheet format) through the online tool available at https://www.zamzar.com/. I believe they will convert five files at a time for free.

What file format to use for xlsx file?
I need to open some xlsx files and I can't figure out what file format to use. I go to "spreadsheet" and then click on my file xlsx to open, but I am then asked to pick a file format and none of them seem to work. Can you help me please? Take care, Susen
Opening xlsx files errors
Hi I am using the latest win 32 v4.114 but opening an xlsx file with many sheets you get missing cells and fields. However I tried to use a xlsx to ods online conversion and it seems to be better than your converter and without missing or lost data. The link is https://cloudconvert.com/xlsx-to-ods Please incorporate this as it will save a lot of headache. I spent the whole day trying to sort out the errors... and finally decided to convert it online instead. Regards Naeem -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.

OO Calc and XLSX file text duplication
I have been sent a rather complex protected XLSX spreadsheet with 1,053 formulae. They work fine. Three cells have a text string. When I open the XLSX file with OO, these three strings are twice as long as they should be (concatenated to themselves). I had the author (who is using Excel) save and send me a copy with file type XLS, and OO does not have the problem with this file. So it appears to me that OO is has a glitch with XLSX file types. Is anyone interested in this problem? Unfortunately, I do not have a recent copy of Excel. Bob
Re: How save .xlsx -files

RE: Problem with Opening Microsoft *.xlsx Spreadsheets with Open Office
You can rename a file in the File Explorer, but that is not going to be helpful. Leave it named .xslx for the greatest possible success. As Rory suggests, you can try the Kingsoft (now WPS Office) 30-day freee trial to see if that will open the file successfully. WPS office is strongly-focused on interoperability with the Microsoft Office formats. You can also try the free Excel on the Web in your browser. You will need a OneDrive account, if you don't have one yet. Then you can upload Office files to OneDrive and then open and work with them in your browser. It is best to have Windows 7 or later on your HP machine. - Dennis PS: For any follow-up, please reply to users @ openoffice.apache.org where other experts may have advice and others can learn the solutions to common problems.

This would be helpful to troubleshoot this problem. Thanks. The spreadsheet at the Cornell site doesn't contain any personal data; it can be used for troubleshooting purposes, or any other. I've had various suggestions and received several remedies. To summarize: the .xlsx file can apparently be read in OO 3.1.1 (someone who was able to do so saved it as a .ods and sent it on to me); the .xlsx file apparently can be read in AOO 4.0.1 (someone who was able to do so offered to save it as a .ods and send it on to me); yes, the .csv file can be taken into AOO or Excel to create an equivalent spreadsheet but you lose the color coding that is in the .xlsx which helps when scrolling through the data and the references from the second sheet of the .xlsx file don't seem to be present in the .csv file. I now have a version of the Cornell file in .ods format that serves my purposes. Thanks to all of you for your comments and suggestions. What a great group of people you are!

When I saved it as an ODS file, OpenOffice's native format, subsequent opens were much faster. I can send you the ODS version if you want. Or you can try again with AOO 4.0.1 once that releases. Regards, -Rob @Rob -- what OS are you using, given Julian's comment on this as well. Windows 7, 32-bit. I tried 4.0.1., Linux-32, and well basically gave up at the (about) 25% load status. For me it stopped there as well. I took a phone call, and when I checked again the document was open. Check your CPU and see if it is still showing the soffice process as active. -Rob I will try again. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org -- - MzK Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities.

RE: AOO can't open .xlsx spreadsheet at Cornell site
I opened that 32,000+ row Cornell file as an XLSX in 15 to 20 seconds. To peek at it, I turn CELL WRAP on, and saw that some cells had massive amts of text. I'm running W/7 on a 5 or 6 year old HP.

Alexandro Colorado: I have found issues with the XLSX formats which doent follow a unique convention, XLSX that have been auto-generated or generated programatically differ from the ones programatically generated. This also look like a very poorly designed table, LOL, whiteknights are so annoying. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org

Re: AOO can't open .xlsx spreadsheet at Cornell site
I have found issues with the XLSX formats which doent follow a unique convention, XLSX that have been auto-generated or generated programatically differ from the ones programatically generated. As I looked into the file, it seems that the amount of rows is greater than the amount AOO support. This also look like a very poorly designed table, so the CSV is completely useless. I think this was generated as an afterthought rather than as a propper datasource.
