Description Andy 2017-06-01 12:05:58 UTC
Description:
When you save a spreadsheet file to XLSX format, in Libreoffice or ms Excel the rows are shown in full when reopening. Instead if yuu impport the xlsx file into SPSS software, only the first 65k rows of the sheet will be imported. This does not happen when saving the file with MS Excel, so the fault lies with the xlsx export procedure in LO. If you are not aware of this and do not check thoroughly the results obtained in SPSS, you could end up with HUGE loss of data.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. The file "more than 65000.xlsx" created with LO 5.3.1.2, has 80.001 rows. These are all saved and shown also if you open the file in MS Excel.
2.Now open it with SPSS (22 or 23): only the first 65k rows will be imported, any further data will be lost
3. The file "more than 65000 resaved by microsoft.xlsx" if the same as above, but it was re-saved using MS Excel 2013 without any change.
4. Now if you import the latter into SPSS, all the rows will be correctly imported, not only the first 65k!

Actual Results:  
xlsx created or saved by LO have something inside that prevents SPSS from reading all data, which is instead read if the xlsx file was saved by MS Excel.
Since Excel 97-2003 supported only 65k rows, maybe there is something in the xlsx file that confuses SPSS into thinking it is an older file?

Expected Results:
All data within the spreadsheet range (1 million rows) should be read correctly by SPSS

Comment 3 Eike Rathke 2017-06-01 18:26:47 UTC
It's probably (can't check as I don't have SPSS) the <dimension> element (here in ./xl/worksheets/sheet1.xml) that is
<dimension ref="A1:B65536"/>
instead of
<dimension ref="A1:B80001"/>

Apparently SPSS ignores any data beyond but sane applications don't.
Comment 4 Eike Rathke 2017-06-01 18:48:01 UTC
Note that the first file https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=133781 actually contains only 65536 rows, so the dimension thing is just an assumption. Apparently you attached a wrong file.
