I don't understand the comment from Andreas Säger; does that mean no action will be taken on the bug? It's simply an analysis of the pathological characteristics of this document. This is needed as a first step in investigating why OpenOffice is slow in opening it.

Results were the same; after about 20 minutes the progress bar showed about 25% of the file loaded and I had to use the Windows Task Manager to terminate soffice.bin to stop it. It opens normally for me with 4.0.1; however, it takes unacceptably long (13 minutes in my case).

I downloaded it as well. I hope it doesn't contain personal data. If it does, I will delete it. On the other hand, if it doesn't, can we use it as an attachment to an issue? 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!

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.

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.
