Created attachment 168667 [details] Minimized version of attachment #168418 [details] This is split off from bug #139163 There the ODS attachment #168418 [details] has several named ranges, saving them to XLSX makes Excel find invalid contents in the named ranges. The cause seems to be the named range “S” which is not allowed in Excel, can not even be created as new. Removing only this one from the Manage names dialog makes the error go away. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open attached file 2. Save as XLSX, reopen in Excel 3. For a counter-test open attachment #168418 [details] 4. In the Manage Names dialog find and delete the named range “S” 5. Save as XLSX, reopen in Excel -> no invalid contents error among named ranges. Actual results: Excel finds invalid contents. Expected results: No invalid contents. LibreOffice details: Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: 96bafa464ebdbce3ef04bec9beae5e745bb37794 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.3 Build 9600; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-US (hu_HU); UI: en-US Calc: CL Also with 6.0, 5.0, 4.0. Also happens when saving to XLS format.

Created attachment 168670 [details] Error message from Excel when creating a new named range named “S” This says even with a new spreadsheet: - The name does not start with letter or underscore. - The name contains space or another invalid character. - The name clashes with a built-in name of Excel or with the name of another object of the spreadsheet.
I can't reproduce it in Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ / LibreOffice Community Build ID: a1d987cf3d0e1ae4d87f7d06ae93e71a0cc59f0c CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.7; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded and Excel 2010. Which version of Excel are you using? might it be a problem in that version of excel ?

I used 2013, now they upgraded my machine to 2019 but it also does not like the named range in the minimized file.
let's move it to NEW then...
