Bug #: 55181 Summary: FILESAVE as .XLS corrupts spreadsheet, losing many rows of data Classification: Unclassified Product: LibreOffice Version: 3.6.1.2 release Platform: Other OS/Version: Windows (All) Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: critical Priority: medium Component: Spreadsheet AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org ReportedBy: rossni...@gmail.com I received an XLS (97/2003) s/s that had about 300 rows of data, some header cells that were merged across and down several cells, some hidden rows at the top. There were no macros, no formulas, just simple formatting and a few comments on a few cells. After adding extra columns, doing some manipulation like 'text to column', deleting some columns, simplifying headers etc, all looked good. I was saving as I went, in the same .XLS (97/2003) format. Closed and reopened the s/s. About 90% of the rows were now invisible. I assumed they were lost, as selecting a now empty cell did not reveal content in the data entry line. Assuming some non-LibreOffice error, I repeated the above the next day, with some minor variations. The same major loss occurred. I then opened the corrupt file with MS Office 2010 Starter. It advised there was corruption. I forced this to continue and successfully recovered all the raw data. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
