Good idea. I ran the validator on the els file and it fails. Not sure
I understand all the details, though! Here’s the output:
<BFFValidation path="z:\Downloads\file.xls" datetime="08/01/14 16:58:33"
result="FAILED">
This is the main bit - result=FAILED. Your file isn't a valid Excel file,
based on the spec
If Excel loads the file, then it probably isn't that far off. With the
file, we might be able to add a suitable workaround too. Without it,
you'll need to do that, and submit a patch! Start by identifying the
problem record (maybe with BiffViewer), then look at the hex dump of the
stream (POIFSViewer) and compare that with the file format docs
([MS-XLS].pdf) to see where it differs
