Description Madman 2013-03-18 09:22:05 UTC
Problem description: 

Can't open apparently my broken xlsx file. The original file (created in ms office 2010) opened fine. Then I added alot of data, saved it, and then closed it.
And now when i got back 2 work after the weekend. Calc freezes when trying to load it.

*NOTE*
Opening it in ms office, managed to repair it and save my data.
However, without editing anything, (ms said they removed something, but I can't see any data loss)and then save it. shrunk the filesize from 3.3MB to 2.9MB.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Download attached file.
2. Open it

Current behavior:
Libre office frezzes, and must be force quit.

Expected behavior:
Opening the file.
              
Operating System: Ubuntu
Version: 4.0.1.2 release

I can confirm this behavior using Mac OSX 10.8.3 with LibreOffice Version 4.0.2.1 (Build ID: 7e5467ff8f30d821f4fbf69cb2769163eb64c2c)
TinderBox: MacOSX TDF Release, Branch:libreoffice-4-0, Time: 2013-03-12_21:31:08

I mark this bug as 'Major High' see our prioritizing flowchart [1]. Inability to open particular document.

@Madman: is it possible to attach also the original xlsx file (before your changes)?

Kind regards,
Joren

And this is the curently working file I have now. After I got ms office to open and repair it. Note that this file contains more data then the broken file since I been working on it since the bugreport.

Comment 5 Madman 2013-03-18 13:39:35 UTC
Hmm. I just realized that the file is enormous. And both Libre and MS has problem opening it.
So I manged to open it in MS on a pc with more RAM, and copyed the data, to a new spreedsheet, pasted as text.
Then I added my formating, and formulas, re-aranged some of the columns.
My 3rd version of the file is now only 38kb (48 if I save it with MS).

So the fact that the file is so huge, is what's wrong with it. And that could be beacuse of: Bug in libre 3.5, Libre 4.0, MS 2010, User-error.

I'm not sure but I belive that my co-worker, when he changed the font to Arial in MS, he clicked on the blank row/columns box in the upper left corner, auto selecting ALL CELLS, and then changed font and font-size. Don't know in witch office he did this. So that might explain why it is so big. It might have font data on ALL CELLS from A to ZZ and 1 to 40 000+ that excell handels.

The 3rd version I did only has font data on the 400 rows, and A-L cells I use.
