Seems there is same error in the file, like the error message opening with excel show. Excel it's able to recover it, while LibreOffice not.

Should be more a request for enhancement to recover files with error like this one.

app.xml says:

<Properties xmlns="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/extended-properties"><Application>Apache POI</Application></Properties>

Another observation: if I split the merged cells in A1:T2 or U1:BH2 then everything becomes visible in the third row that was somehow hidden, in:

Version: 7.2.0.0.beta1+ / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 65dee56eed2111dfbe923ef82b3ba41a4c5edf75
CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: hu-HU (hu_HU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

But considering that both attachment 173636 [details] and attachment 173639 [details] shows this file is not valid according to Excel, I'd say this is a bug in the Apache POI generator or the way it was used.
